reproduction

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!

Up until I was about 11 years old I didn't understand how sexual intercourse was performed. I used to think you just laid in bed and kissed and you would get pregnant because that's all I saw on T.V.

Before my first sex education class, I had figured out how babies were made. It must happen when Mom and Dad kiss.

My mom has 2 brothers and a sister, and since I knew they came from my grandmother, I always thought that when my grandmother was pregnant, the 4 of them were adults, sitting inside her, and playing cards, waiting to be born.

I remember at a sleep over some girls were swapping stories. One of them told about a 7-year-old who had a baby. We all beleived her, being 7 ourselves.

One day, when I was about 6 or so, while watching a movie on TV, I asked my Mom where babies come from. She told me that a man and woman get married and then they have babies. Several years later, my Mom told me that the girl who had been my all time favorite babysitter was pregnant. My response? I didn't know Tana was married.

when i was younger i believed that no one got pregnant from having sex for the first time and that coca cola was a cheap and efficient spermicide. needless to say i was far too young to try out these ideas and the back copies of Jackie magazine in our local library soon straightened me out. thank the lord.

When I was (very) small, I recall my mother telling me that I'd grown "in
her tummy" before being born. Hence, I imagined myself being bombarded
with all the food that she ate. Also, I remember thinking that the doctors
had opened some sort of "door in her tummy" to let me out.

Just before puberty set in, a friend told me that if I was to ever shave my thighs all of my future pregnancy's would miscarry.

When I was about six a quizzed my brother amount baby production. His reply was that when you get married, the mum just gets pregnant. When I asked him how the 'getting pregnant' was done, he said it just happened! So then I asked him how the baby came out. He said that the doctors slice the mum's tummy open, pull the baby out, then stitch her up again. I was amazed than my mum's tummy was cut open so many times! (five kids all up)

My dad told me that my grandpa's large stomach was because he was pregnant. But I knew this to be wrong because grampy was deaf so how could he hear the baby coming?

Once i asked my mum how do people get papies, She told me " well it's a big bird who used to live in france, will come at night and drop the baby next to mum" i used to believe that until i as around 8 when i discovered the real reproduction

"Sleeping together" ment the man and the women would fall asleep with out any cloths. If the mans willy touched the slit between the legs she got pregnat. Unprotected sex was when one or both forgot to put their underwair back on before they went to sleep.

In 5th grade, we had a test on sex education. We were given a pretest. A multiple choice question asked where is the baby kept in the mother (someting like that). I picked stomach. I failed the test.
