Someone posted something funny on here yesterday about a 1st grader asking how the baby would come out of her tummy.....so in honor of that here is the question:
When you were little, how did you think babies were made and how were they born? (before you knew the truth...)
(I posted this poll on TTCAL and SAL yesterday and got some pretty funny responses....I thought it would be fun here too.)
Re: Silly Poll: Where do babies come from?
I don't remember what I thought when I was little, but when I was pregnant with DS my nieces (who at the time were 5 and almost 3) were playing in the basement and my niece Abigail was "delivering" her doll from my niece Julia's tummy.
When my SIL asked what they were doing they said, "We're having a baby like Auntie Sara". My SIL was trying not to laugh and said, "How does the baby get out?" and my 5 year old niece replied, "Through the bellybutton obviously". It was so funny.

I don't know where I thought they came from. ?But I remember telling my sister that babies were installed by a Minister and ?Doctor via the belly button.
?
I honestly can't remembere where I thought babies came from before I "knew."
But the movie Look Who's Talking really messed me up as a kid. Do you remember the scene where Kirstie Alley is telling her mom she used a sperm donor? Well, in the scene she says they "inserted it" and then she swallows some ice cream. And I thought she actually had to swallow the "deposit." Yeah, totally wouldn't work!

Me too! Thank goodness I wasn't the only one!
I don't remember what I thought about how the baby was born, but I thought that if a man and woman hugged naked she would get pregnant (like pp, from a very descriptive book). i wasn't that far off, i think one of my friends gets pg that easily!
when i got my period, my younger sisters (they were 6 at the time) asked my mom if that meant i was pregnant. i thought that was cute.
