reproduction

I thought your parents CHOOSE if you're a boy or a girl when they have you (or at least the mother chose). I learned this was wrong when I asked my mom why she made me a boy instead of a girl.

When I was young, I used to believe that, all babies lived in a "contry" before they were born. When I had a brother, I was sad because I thought that all his friends had to said good bye to him... And when I learnt how we babies are made, I was very very sad too and I was crying... Since this moment, I don't believe that anymore !

I thought that when a woman got cravings when she was pregnant, then whatever she craved would become her offspring's favourite foods.

Conversely, I thought that if a woman was put off a specific food while pregnant, then that'd become the food the child didn't like.

I only realised this was not true when Mum told me she didn't like tomatoes while pregnant, even though I like tomatoes.

I used to think babies were bought in supermarkets, because of the trolley seat that they get to ride in, and wondered which shop my parents had bought me from.

When I was a kid I used to believe that when the mothers wanted to have a child she called the storks and they would bring the baby that they wanted.
Also, when I was a child I used to believe that at Christmas, Santa Claus brought gifts to good children

I thought that in order to use a pregnancy test, you simply have to hold it and a short time later it tells you whether or not you're pregnant.

My mother said, when I was about six or seven, that women get pregnant after they "have some Mama and Papa's love" with men.

Because of this, I thought women could get pregnant simply from dating men.

I was a scholarly young lass, so I liked reading Wikipedia, but one day, I was reading the article for "sexual reproduction" and I thought I'd get in trouble if my parents found out.

When I was a child, I used to belive than men made women pregnant with a big french kiss.

before i knew how babies were made, i used to think as a kid that as soon as a couple got married, a baby instantly appeared in the wife's tummy and started growing from then. hahahahaha

When I was around 5 or 6, I used to believe that babies were born with clothes :S

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!

I used to believe that my penis would grow so large that it would suck all the blood and life forces from my body!... It became a reality when I grew up and became an Alpha male.....

It's not my belief, but once I made another kid believe he was a ghost.
My Mom taught me about sex, and I asked him if his parents ever had sex. He said no, and I told him he couldn't exist then, so he must be a ghost.
I was a deep kid :p

I used to believe that all babies were the result of immaculate conception, and that you were either chosen by the divine to have children, or you weren't.

I used to think that eggs were at first located in the nose of the father. I don't know how I thought they got inside the mother, but once they did, I thought the parents chose which one to have as a child.
