reproduction

I used to believe that if you had a baby at 19, you were HORRIBLE, because thats "teen pregnancy." But if you had a child at 20, it was perfectly OK.

When i was little i asked my dad how babies were made. He told me about the whole sex thing and how the sperm meets the egg, my next question was to ask 'how does the man know when the sperm has met the egg' my dads reply was......'you just know'

looking back, im so embarrased

i used to think that interracial couples couldnt have babies because they were like different species

My mom told me that kids appear after long time relationship, they are just born when people love each other for significant period of time, suprisingly this belief last till I was about 12!

I used to believe that when girls became women, they would start producing babies, much like a fruit tree produces fruit. I wondered how a woman's body knows when she is married, and worried that my body may be off, and start producing children before I got married. I went to my mother, and remarked, "I hope I don't have any babies before I get married." My mother responded, " I hope not too." I was the REALLY worried then as I knew it was possible!

When I was about 10 or 11 I thought that if u rubbed ur belly-button 3 times and wished for a baby it would come out of the end of your finger. So I never EVER touched or talked about my belly button for a long time...that was..until i found out the truth. lol. I was a very weird child.

When i was younger I thought that to have a baby, a man & a woman would kiss and a seed (i imagined it like a watermelon seed) would travel from the man through his body and through his throat into the woman's mouth, and she would swallow it and it would grow into a baby!!!

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.

my 4 yr old little girl asked me how mummys knew what their baby is when its born, i told her if its a girl it will look like her and if its a boy it will have a willy, she said to me don't be stupid mummy if it's a boy it will be wearing trainers, and if its a girls it will have boots! i laughed for ages what do you say to that?

My sister thought when she was little that condoms were filled with semen and placed up the backside and babies were born from your bum

When I was very young, I used to think you bought babies in shops and if you
did not want them when you got them home,you could take them back.

I used to belive that when people were kissing that it was sex. I also belived that sex was not the only way to have babbies, i was like 9 and i was trying to figure out the other way.

Lizzy

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...

My birthday is September 1.

For 20 years, I believed that that was 9 months after New Year's Eve, and that I was just a giant mistake after too much drinking.

When I got my PhD in math (really), I was able to figure out that in fact I was born 9 months after Thanksgiving!

Who, me?
