Where do babies come from?

[stratego]

What are some of the explanation you've heard about where babies come from? What did your parents tell you when you asked as a little child? Did you believe them?

I was told my mommies belly, while not anatomically correct at least i didn't get a you came when a stork brought you to us crap which apparently a lot of people got.

You know, sperm and all that...

I actually never bothered to ask when I was kid, I don't think..

My parents were brutally honest... brutally brutally honest. *shutters*

I dont remember having this talk with the parents.

I asked my mom when I was four. She told me that when a mom and a dad gets married, the dad's spirit automatically enters the mom's crystal and the baby is born in 9months. Then I asked where how they get a second child and she told me to finish my dinner.

Through the reading skills I picked up soon after leaving the womb, I picked it up through reading various material I could get my hands on at a pretty young age.

I never really asked that question. I learned later.

My dad is a biologist, so when I asked him (I was around six years old at the time) he told me the truth.

I don't think I asked, but my parents told me straight up when I was young. Then I tried to teach it to some other kid in 2nd grade and he just would not buy it....he said it happened automatically at marriage.

Storks aren't native to the United States. I wonder why that doesn't create problems for people attempting to explain it that way.

 

[The Yankee]

Maybe that makes it easier. You see...if you never see a stork, you never have to wonder why it isn't carrying a baby.

Once a year the supermarkets have a special offer on babies.

My parents never told me this, I figured it out by myself

 

[blindside]

I never asked them but after a while I figured it out. I knew where they came from, not how they came to be in the mother. I learned that a little bit later.

Some things are best left outside of the relms of this forum

 

[Yoda Power]

They told me something about physical contact and sperm

Quite stupid when babies obviously come from storks.

 

[blindside]

I remember they used to tell me they bought us (me and my sisters) at the store.

I had a book explaining in pictures the female belly in stages of pregnancy.
I think I never bothered to ask how it got there in the first place, or perhaps they also had the male example, but I didn't see the connection..

I seem to remember being told as a small child that babies were made when the father's "seed" got into the mother's belly. Naturally, as children are quite literal-minded, I imagined that the 'seed' looked like apple seeds. Of course I wasn't told at first how the 'seed' got into the mother's belly, and for awhile I wondered whether getting the seed out of the father was as painful as getting the baby out of the mother.
