sex: reproduction

Our school district taught Reproductive Health in sixth grade. I begged my older brother to tell me what he was learning in the class (I was in fourth grade). He told me that every month I would lay an egg and then I would have to go to the bathroom, crack the egg, and let it bleed into my underwear everyday for a week. And that if I didn’t do it, I would have a baby. I started crying and told my mom. Even after she gave me the proper info, I couldn’t eat eggs for years after that.

When I was young, I was always fascinated with babies. As I grew older (maybe 5 or 6), I realized that most babies were breast fed. I somehow came to the conclusion that dark skin mothers produce chocolate milk and light skin mothers produce vanilla milk... Than I was bold enough to ask, and felt dumb... Lol

I used to believe that women's eggs "broke" when a man layed on top of her and that's what sex was all about. Squishing the egg open and getting the baby juice in haha

I used to believe that men had absolutely nothing to do with reproduction and that they were actually not needed at all. I thought they only got married and/or lived with women because they would get lonely otherwise and that some of them called themselves "the father" of the woman's children because they liked "pretending" that they helped create them and were as important as the woman.

I use to think if a man and woman made out she would become pregnant and then the baby would see through her belly button what the parents look like and become a morph of both of them..

Being a girl, I used to believe that all the children I'm going to have are inside my stomach, waiting for their turns. And that I used to live with my little brother in my mum's tummy.

My grandparents and mother used to tell me that each and every baby was born a girl. However, if you wanted a son, you would have to take the baby to K-Mart and buy the proper parts and attach it to him. I didn't think there could possibly be another reason why there were different sexes and believed it for quite a few years.

When my little sister was younger she believed in order to have babies you had to get married. So if you had two kids, you married twice. Soon after my mom found out (when she was about 9) is when she told her how couples had babies.

When I was really little I used to think that my mom gave birth to my dad and raised him. Then once he grew up they had all of us kids together. I didn't know how they did it though...

When I was little, I used to believe that once a couple got married, they sat down together and prayed for however many children they wanted and then the wife randomly got pregnant until they had all their babies. Because of this, I wondered how Atheists had babies.

When I was about 5 going on 6 my Mom had my little brother, so I asked her where did he come from, well being so young she told me he was a gift from God, and that she prayed really hard. So until I was old enough to truly understand, I used to believe that all you had to do was go to the hospital and pray to have a baby and you would get one. Back then I always wondered why she always prayed for boys, I don't have any sisters.

Whenever a T.V. show came on with the topic where do babies come from, I used to think I was the smartest kid casue I knew babies really came from eggs in the Mother's belly.

When i was little, I asked my grandpa how my parents had me, and he replied by telling me that I was an egg and my mom and dad found me behind a bush and hatched me.

In junior school we were given small envelopes to donate money, on each envelope there was a printed photograph of a baby.

Around the same time I learnt that babies were made with 'seeds' and I imagined that when I was older I would have to go and choose a packet from a market stall in town!

When I was in kindergarten, a boy in my class told me that girls didn't have penises because they got cut off in a war. I believed him for the longest time until I asked my mother about it one day and she just laughed at me.

When I was little I believed that women got pregnant completely by random. It wasn't a choice... it just happened. Also, when you gave birth, the baby came out your foot.
