I used to be quite disgusted by my own belief that when older I would reproduce through urinating into a woman's vagina. Needless to say I was young enough not to have known what other fluids eminate from "the little fella".

When I was young, my parents told me that babies came from God. Not very explanatory. I had seen bits on TV about doctors & hospitals & mothers strapped on tables to give birth--so I worked out that when a baby was due, the doctor would stand in the hospital parking lot and wait with his arms out for the baby to drop from heaven. They strapped the mother to a table so she wouldn't get excited & jostle the doctor. Why did her belly get big? God made it happen so the doctor would know when to go outside & wait! :)

I remember watching a Tarzan movie on TV when I was 4 or 5. Just before the commercial, Tarzan and Jane clasped hands and gazed into each others eyes; after the commercial, Jane was holding a baby. I figured that's how "it" was done. Months later, an older neighbour boy, laughing hysterically, set me straight.
Thanks a lot, Tarzan!

I must had heard wrongly at dinner conversations when I had started to believe that the eggs packed and sold in our tiny farm were laid by my mother and sisters. My nanny had even told me she was too old to lay eggs. My older brother had told me people bought them to have babies. So what about the eggs we ate - he had invented theories about several mechanisms used to differentiate between edible and child bearing eggs. One dinner I insisted so believing they were all denying, in conspiracy to hide this secret from me. My brother denied having told me anything.
So, at about six years of age, I agreed and my father woke me up early the next morning to watch the chicken lay eggs.

I used to believe that my parents would pray to God if they wanted a baby, and the next day, he or she would be born. I think I was 12 before I realized this wasn't how babies were born. :)

Myself and my siblings and cousins all used to believe that if you had sex missionary style you had a boy, and if the woman was on top you would have a girl. And if you did it like the dogs down the street would, that you would have puppies like them. Boy we were strange! lol
when i was little my dad told me that babies came from the bush at the end of the garden. i didn't find the truth because i was home schooled. then when i did find the truth i was 32 and my wife had a baby and i said where did the baby ome from it was very imbarising.

My brother used to believe that when a couple left the church after they got married, there was a big wicker basket by the door with a selection of babies in it, so that they could choose one on the way home!

I remember being a very sheltered and naieve 10 yr old, and finding out about the facts of life in a very clinical biology lesson at school. I was totally stunned, and so grossed out, that when the teacher asked if anyone had any questions, and all my classmates sensibly looked at the floor... I blurted out " But do they have to do that EVERY time they want a baby...surely once would be enough!"... LOL!

Up to the age of 12 I was convinced urinating while in mid copulation resulted in a Downs Syndrome baby.

I used to believe that babies were bought from shops, and that when my parents told everybody that I was eight pounds three, they meant that was how much they paid for me. I believed that until I was about 7 or 8. Yes, I'm still a muppet!

I was told when I was little that I was found under a rock. I used to turn over rocks looking for a baby. I ended up learning the truth when I was 9 years old, when my aunt had her first daughter.

Before my grandma told me about the birds and the bees, I believed that babies were born wrapped in blankets. I got this idea from watching shows where a female character was having a baby. They never showed the icky stuff, they would always cut to the the woman holding the baby wrapped in a blanket. So....that's how I got the idea that babies were born with blankets.

My wife couldn't figure out why no one was happy when her dad went to the hospital. Every time her mother went she brought home a new sister. My wife thought she was going to get a new brother.

When I was young I thought that boy babies came out of their fathers and girl babies came out of their mothers.

When my daughter, LIzzy, was almost two, I sat my four year old son down to tell him that we were thinking of having another baby. He burst out crying. I asked him what was wrong and he said, "I want to keep Lizzy."

I did not believe in the stork; I knew that women got pregnant for 9 months, then gave birth in the hospital. I did not know how the baby got there in the first place. I believed that when a couple got married, the wife would "automatically" become pregnant.
I also thought the baby would leave the mother's womb through her butt. ;)

When I was around eleven or twelve, I knew that sex was required to make babies, but I thought you only had to do it one time to have as many babies as you wanted.
