reproduction

When I was about 13, I just couldn't understand why one of my Mum's friends had a daughter, when she wasn't even married. I thought it must've been a virgin birth.

Victorian upbringing

when i was little like 5 or 6 i used 2 think that boys and girls had babies (my father wasnt the smallest guy ever) i htought my dad and my mom were both pregnant & they were both gona have babies out of their bellybuttons, but my dads was smaller than my moms so one night i climbed into my parents bed and rubbed my dads stomach and talked to "the baby inside" i just found out last year (i'm 13) that thats not true!!

Up until I was about 10, I used to believe babies were born with white sheets around them and in time, the sheet turned into skin.

When I was small, I believed that babies were 'fished' out of a local stream....The Snitz Creek!
Since I only learned to swim when I was 12 years old, I was terrible confused as to how I kept from
drowning before my parents 'fished' me out of the Creek!

My mother, thinking she was avoiding the "birds and the bees" discussion, told me that I was born on a chicken farm and that I came with a dozen eggs one day. My hair was very blonde as a child (almost white) and my older brothers said it was left over feathers and that I would out grow them. I believed them until about 2nd grade when other blonde haired kids said it wasn't true.

When I was three or four my mother told me that babies born under cauliflowers and for this reason when I wished to have a sister I didn`t want to eat no more cauliflowers !!!!

for some reason, i used to get really really angry when my friend kept trying to convince me that babies gave from a child factory (told so by her mom). I didn't know how they were really made, but i was positive it was physical since animals and cave men and plants all reproduced, and they had only their bodies. I used to nearly cry in frustration trying to convince her that she was wrong and wondering how she could be so stupid.

Oh the Injustice of it All

Upon the question of "where babies come from" my mom told me that a man had to put a seed inside the woman and it would grow into a baby, and I refused to believe her (imagining a sunflower seed being put into her stomach), so I tried to trick her by asking her things she wouldnt be able to answer. I asked where it came out of, on the man (being smart enough to disbelieve friends who said that people got ingredients for babies out of stores, because *how would babies me made in days of cavemen, then?*). My mom's blush and refusal to answer confirmed my theory that she was lying.

Strangely enough, I knew about sex, but thought it was just done for the heck of it, and it was only in 5th grade that i found out the two were interelated.

When I was a child I used to believe that boys were born in vegetables and girls in flowers.

When I was younger I used to believe that the moon and the sun were married.
If they turned around the earth it was because they were separated and the sun was following the moon.

When I was in first grade my babysitter had a son a couple years younger than I was and we were great friends. One day his aunt brought his newborn cousin over to visit. We both loved the baby and decided we should make one of our own. We climbed in to bed (fully clothed) got under the covers and hugged each other. I also made him kiss me on the cheek to make sure we would really make a baby. We decided we would have a little boy and name him the same name as his little cousin. I was crushed when my best friend told me I couldn't really be pregnant because I didn't have my period yet at school the next day.

When I was in 5th grade, about 10 years old, my best friend told me exactly how babies were made. I was in shock. I told her that she must be wrong, or there must be another way, because my mommy and daddy were christians and didn't do that sort of thing!! lolol

When I was little I asked my mum where babies came from and she told me that you got them by preying, and I belived her.

When I was young, my mum told me that old story about kids being brought by storks. I believed in it.

This guy called Mark asked where babies come from. He was told some stuff about semen.
He was confused, because apparantly, people give women mobile phones to have a baby! He was 1 rude toddler.

My sister was convinced of an intricate baby-making process: the prospective mother and father would go into a room, lock the door, and stay awake all night completing a 2-dimensional puzzle of a baby (which they had bought from a special baby store). At the end of the night, the mother would eat the puzzle, and it then took 9 months for the 'puzzle baby' to become a 3-dimensional real baby, at which point the mother would give birth.

My mother told me that when I was 4 and my brother was born I said "that one ugly and bald bring it back for a pretty girl one"and when my grandma brought me to the hospital gift shop and wanted me to pick out a stuffed animal for my baby brother I refused because "I dont like him, he is ugly"
