I thought that only the mother made the child, the father was an "extra" in this area

I knew enough about the body to know that when a woman was pregnant, that the baby was in "her belly"...and I worried all the time about that poor baby sitting in there getting chewed up food dropped onto it's head all the time!

I thought that babies were made from the pee of a man and a woman. I was always so upset when my brother wouldn't flush the toilet, I was afraid that if I peed on his pee that would make a baby and I would have to flush the baby down the toilet.

I'm not sure if this is the right section,
but when i was a kid, my friend told me he is so smart because his mom swallowed a dictionary when she was pregnant. And he read the book in her stomach.
I got mad at my mom for not doing that, and i think it's her fault that i'm so stupid. Hehe

when i was bout 5 me and my family were watchin a film which showed a new born baby. i then turned round to my dad and asked how you could tell if a baby was a boy or a girl.... as he was really embaressed infront of my older brother and my mum he just said it was cos of the colour of the baby. i got really confused cos me and my brother are the same colour (well in th eyes of a 5 yr old anyways) so i thought he must have been a girl as well but he jus had short hair cos he liked it

I used to believe that when a mum and dad wanted a baby they held hands and said "it's time", and then the baby would grow inside the mum's head, travling down to her belly.

My parents had a different answer than "the stork" when I asked, "Where do babies come from?" My mom told me mommies and daddies pray for babies and God gives them to the parents. I replied with, "I thought they came from your belly."

My mother was pregnant with my little sister when I was about 2. I asked my mother where babies came from and she tried to describe sperm and eggs to me. As she told me this I said "Like chicken eggs and tadpoles Mommy?" For many years, that's how I thought babies were made....chicken eggs and tadpoles

When I was little my mother told me that semen came out of mans penis and that's what you needed to get a baby inside a womans tummy. My mom was always really straightforward when talking about that but she always used the word "semen". Up until 13 or something like that I believed that because women are hurt when delivering a baby then a man is supposed to hurt when delivering the semen. Logic, right? That was because I always thought the semen were quite big and it would hurt for them to come out. Like a melon semen.

Here's another one. The only private question i ever asked my mother was that which we all at some point do "Where do babies come from?". If you can believe it, she told me they grew from a special tree and you had to go pick them at the hospital. Great stuff to be filling your kids head with, eh?

when i was little i believed that if a girl went to the bathroom and didn't flush the toilet and then a boy went to the bathroom that they would make a baby--i thought there were loads of sewer babies. for years i would never walk anywhere near storm drains.

I believed until I was about seven that, when a woman reached a certain age, she automatically had a baby. I wasn't sure I wanted children, so I used to constantly ask my mom, "How can I not have a baby when I grow up?"
She thought I was asking about birth control, so the answer was always, "I'll tell you when you're older."

When I was 14 my younger sister age 7 asked my Mom why she had a big belly. My Mom replied that she was pregnant. My little sister than ran up to my Dad, who is overweight, and asked "How many babies are you going to have?" Needless to say my Dad wasn't to thrilled with the question. I ran to my room and laughed my ass off.

When my mother was pregnant with me, she worked in a day care. One of the little boys came up to her with a baseball and asked her why her tummy was so big. She told him that she had a baby inside her. The boy looked up at her and asked "Well, can you let him out to play?"

When i was younger i thought that the left testicle carried boys and the right testicle carried girls.

I used to believe that women would become pregnant and have daughters, and men would become pregnant and have sons.
