My brother told me that my parents got me at the Salvation Army, and I was thrown in a sale bin, and the only other candidate for adoption in there with me was a kid with no arms or legs.

I used to believe that mommies gave birth to girls and daddies gave birth to boys.

Comment my 3 year old son made when I was trying to explain what a pregnant woman was. I said, pointing out to my son that the fat lady wasn't fat, it was just that she had a baby in her tummy. He turned to me and said, "Daddy why did that lady eat a baby?"

When I was, like, 4 years old I was informed of the 'baby factory'. When ever I misbehaved, my sister, mother, aunt, etc, would threaten me with 'your going to go back to the baby factory!' So one day in a car ride I was being a little brat. Once again 'your going back to the baby factory!' came out. I said 'there is no such thing as the baby factory!' I thought i had out wit them. Turns out on the next block there was a neon sign that had 'Baby Factory' on the side. I was the best behaved child for the next 4 months or so.

We used to beleive that a tadpole swam around in my mum and that was how I was born!

I used to believe that babies came out people's butts, so one day I asked my mom "what happens if you poop when you're giving birth?"
I used to believe that couples could produce babies by literally sleeping with each other, thanks to TV and later on, a little knowledge of sperm + egg = baby. With my child mentality then, that translated to being amazed at the perserverance of sperms being able to err.. propel themselves across from dad to mom without physical contact. Or they could perhaps crawl over the bedsheet to the egg located somewhere on mom. *sheepish grin*

At some point before my little brother was born (I was almost 2), my parents asked me where babies came from. I told them that babies came from Mexico! Evidently my grandparents were there on vacation at the time

When I was around 3 years old, I was sitting in my high chair eating lunch when I said to my mum, "I hope you didn't hurt me", and kept on eating.
She asked what I was talking about, so I proceeded to say to her that if I came from her tummy, she must have eaten me, so I hoped that she didn't hurt me while eating me.
My mum had to try very hard to keep from laughing... after that, she proceeded to explain the basic mechanics of reproduction to me. I wasn't very interested at the time, but I have never had misconceptions about reproduction since, and I was able to clarify some very creative ideas my school friends had gotten into their heads upon attaining school age.

My mom had a friend who was pregnant and she was talking about eating a healthy diet to nourish her child. It didn't make sense to me because I thought unborn babies ate stuff like I did. I thought mommies had little kitchens in their bellies so when the baby got hungry, it would just climb up on the counter and pour itself a bowl of Captain Crunch.

I used to believe that a man had as many testicles as he had children. So I thought the Catholic guy next door had nine balls and that I'd only have two kids when I grew up.

i used to believe that couples could choose their children at this big, special place.

When I was about 4 or 5, I couldn't take my eyes of this lady standing in the queue in the bakers. I wondered why on earth she had a football up her dress.Anyway curiosity eventually got the better of me and I asked her inocently in front of every one. Everyone laughed out loud and the lady said "my dear, it's not a football,it's a BABY!

Once when I 8 0r 9, I heard the word "vasectomy" on TV. I asked my mom what it meant. She told me: "It's an operation that a man gets so he can't have babies." I took this to mean that I needed surgery or I could become pregnant like a woman. I was pretty freaked out, and hoped that my doctor would give me a vasectomy whenever I went in for a checkup. He never did.

I thought that maybe babies came from a comet in space like Superman until I realised they came from their mother's tummies. I then wondered how on Earth that would happen and proposed the following theory... First idea was that a baby was a natural growth formation placed by God when a couple were truly in love and wanted one. Then I had the idea that maybe when a mother sleeps, God sends angels or fairies to Earth to magic the woman to sleep..they would then cut open their cranium, take out the brain and any other obstruction, dump the foetus in the tummy, put everything back and magic away the blood. I drove myself into such a puzzle at five that I asked for the truth.:) When I knew about sex, I had this belief that a man just gets his penis in his fingers, walks up to the lady and puts it in. The sperm just swam out like water from a pipette and was effortless. I think I learned the truth a few years later when I asked more questions. :)

When I was told that babies were made by the man going inside the woman and planting his seed I was confused - surely you couldn't get a whole person inside you???
so i thought the man took a magic potion that made him shrink, he somehow got inside (i think the bellybutton was involved), planted his seed then grew back to normal size once he was out!

I used to believe that "the pill" was something women took to get pregnant, not prevent it. I remember telling my babysitter that I never wanted to have a "pill" baby, that it wasn't natural! Silly child!

As a child I was convinced that God put babies in the mommy's tummy.
I wanted to be a mommy so bad.
I remember picking iris in a field near home and praying that God would give me a baby in my tummy. While I picked those flowers and prayed it was always in the back of my mind that "I hope God doesn't know that I'm not married?"
