reproduction

My mom always told us that gypsies delivered me, my brother ws found in the garbage can, and my sister was brought up by wolves and they found her i nthe back yard... she didn't want to have th "sex" talk, so for years, we went around telling people our crazy stories, then my mom finally sat us down and gave us the "talk" man was it awkward, i think she was shaking more then us....

I used to beleive that babies were made out of food that someone ate. For example if i ate sausages then it would form fingers, and meat was legs etc..

When my little sister was born, my mom got me a present "from the baby" so that I would like the baby. I was really excited because the baby knew exactly what I wanted. But then, I asked my mom "Mama, where did the baby get that?" and my mom said "there is a mall inside my belly"
She tells me she told me right after she was just kidding, but somehow I missed the joke and I believed that there was a mall inside my mom's stomach for the longest time.

My ex-girlfriend banned me from drinking coke because she thought it would kill of my sperm off.

I still did when I wasn't with her, but she found out once & got angry with me.

I used to believe that when a woman wanted a child, she'd request one from God. God would then rub his hands together, and with ever circular motion, a baby would grow larger and larger. After the baby was fully complete, he would throw it, from Heaven, in the direction of the woman, where it would be magically put into her stomache.

I used to believe that babies were like puppies and kittens in that they couldn't open their eyes until they were finished forming. I believed that until I was a teenager!

When I was about 3 or 4 there were some really fun teenagers that lived across the street that used to play with me. I really wanted an older brother, so I asked my Mom to go to the firestation and pick up one up. I don't remember anyone telling me babies came from a firestation, but I was sure that was the place to go!

I used to believe that you took The Pill to get pregnant. It took a very confusing letter to Ann Landers to prompt me to ask my mom about it.

when my 5th grade sex ed teacher was talking about dialation during childbirth, I raised my hand and asked" what does her eye-sight have to do with anything?"

My mom was typically skittish about explaining sex and reproduction to me. At some point she must have explained having babies as something that happened after a man and a woman got married. I have no concious memory of this, but I literally believed that having a baby was not possible until a woman was married. I was completely bewildered when my favorite babysitter couldn't babysit me anymore because, as my mother put it, she was going to have a baby. My reaction: "But how can she have a baby? She's not married!"

My parents told us that babies came from the cabbage patch. When 6 my little sister was born in Aug just after dad had planted the cabbages for the new season. My sister and I panicked every year for a while when dad planted cabbages but couldn't understand why there were no more babies until Mum and Dad explained to us.

During the summer when school was out I would have to watch the Soaps with my nannie. Since we lived in the south and this was in the 1960's no one in our family openly discussed how a women became pregnant. But I remember the seeing the ladies on the television sitting on the sofas with their husbands/boyfriends. They would sit close, holding each other and kissing. As the scene would fade out the couple fell backward. Then came the commercials. Well next weeks episode the lady always told the man she was pregnant. So...I figured that as long as I did not sit on a sofa and kiss falling backward I would get pregnant. I kept that belief until I turned 15 years old!

i used to believe that babies grew in the ground and that they were hatched from potapoes

I used to believe that if a woman ate too much and she kissed a man she loved, that his magically love-enhanced spit would come down and touch all the food she ate and turn it into a baby. Only the spit of the man that she loved could change the large amount of food that made her stomach so big into a baby though. That's where I thought babies came from.

My mom is a nurse, so when she explained sex to me, she naturally used all the proper words and was very techincal about the whole thing. She told me about the fallopian tubes and the vas deferens... and I was only nine! This led me to believe that sex was something you had to go to the hospital to do!

When I was little, my mom saw me playing with myself (innocently, of course) and said, "Don't do that. That's how babies are made." After that, I stopped, because I didn't want to get pregnant. ;) For awhile I was telling people that it was true: men could give birth, too!

Ben

when i was little, i thought babies were made by your mum and your dad pressing their belly buttons together when they kissed after saying "i do"...guess i was wrong since theres me AND my brother and my parents only got married once...

When I was little, my parents, rather than giving me the stork line, told me that they found me while dropping off garbage at the dump. They said seagulls and rats were taking care of this fat naked baby who lived in a pile of garbage, and my mom made my dad consent to bring it home. I believe that...to this day, actually, because the alternative is nasty.
