reproduction

When I was young and wondering about 'the birds and the bees' I asked my mum how babies were made. She told me the truth, unlike any other mum: An egg and a sperm. I had no idea what this sperm thing was or where it came from, but i did my level best to stop anyone frying or boiling or eating eggs for a while after, claiming "you're destroying potential babies!"

I used to think that when you get married, God will automaticly put a baby in your stomach.But now i know that you have to go through a stage before having a baby.

When I was about three or four, I used to think that babies came from "the baby store." Hey, groceries came from a grocery store, so why not?

I thought that babies would sleep on little cots that were lined up all around the 'store', and prospective parents would come in and choose a baby or two. I also remember believing ardently that, when I had been purchased from the baby store, I was wearing my pink "Martin Guitars" shirt, even though my dad had bought that for me when I was two.

I remember proudly telling my parents that I knew where babies came from, and they nervously asked me where I thought babies came from. When I told them the "baby store" they both burst out laughing.

When I was younger, I had a lot (and I mean A LOT!) of Legos, and I would build these extravagant, multi-bedroom houses with them. I also had a collection of beads, and I'd pretend that the beads were a family living in the lego house. The storyline was always the same: there was a 16 year old girl, she was the 'mom' and she had a husband and like thirty bead kids. I would make them go on pretend talk shows and try to convince the audience why this was an okay set up. It never occured to me that a 16 year old girl would not be able to be biological mother to all those kids.

when my parents told me about the stalk delivering the baby i asked them, "well do you have to pay a delivery charge?"

i used to beleive that the gender of a baby was determined by how long it stayed inside the mother's womb. in my head, if a girl had stayed in longer, her clitoris would have grown out and she would be a he.

When I was younger...I was smart enough to know that men couldnt get eachother pregnant. Because I knew only women could have babies. So I thought that two women could have a baby together.

The Big O

When i was little i thought that the mom's gave birth to the daughters and the dad's gave birth to the sons.

My brothers used to pick on me about being fat. One day, to make me feel better, my mom told me that every little girl was born with a baby in their stomachs and that I was chubby because the baby was growing.

When I was about four or five years old my next-door neighbor accidentally slammed my finger in her door. She felt soooooo horribly about it and kept apologising to me over and over.

Not long after the incident, she had an adorable baby girl. I thought that her having the baby happened because she had slammed my finger into her door, and that was her ultimate apology.

To this day, a small part of me still believes that.

i used to think that birth control pills should be inserted vaginally.

Not mine, but I had to put it here anyway;
During a verbal "pop quiz" in my Biology class, one of the questions was "Name an organism that reproduces by splitting in half."
Everyone's thinking amoeba, except the girl the teacher picked. Her answer?
"A fish."
Eww.

When I was around six, I asked mom to tell me how babies born. She started to talk about X and Y chromosomes. Until I started to get biology courses I used to believe X and Y are beams emerging from parent's bosom when they started to sleep and I will have one X beam when I will be mother.

one night, at story time when i was maybe 4 or 5, i asked my dad "the question" (que dramatic music). "where do babies come from?" my dad, being a book nerd, explained it to me as follows...

the female's book and the male's books come togther and the pages for a baby.

for the longest time i thought i would not be able to have babies, because i didnt own "that special book."

I know better now.

my mom told me that abaies come from rabbits, that rabbits would come into your house from chimneys and bring your baby to you!
