Babies Come From...

I thought babies came from the oven.

wait are you implying they dont

Recently, a little girl I was working with at a fair was flaunting the fact that she knew babies came from mommies. I was exactly the same way, accepting the fact that "babies came from mommies" and content with not diving any further than that. It was like I already got the huge secret; I didn't understand all the fuss until I got to sex Ed.

And then I still didn't understand all the fuss; I was more intent on being terrified that little squiggly tadpoles resided in my crotch. I mean you don't have to get explicit when telling your child the bird and the bees, just be real and introduce them to the concepts gradually as it applies to them.​
 
My parents never really lied, they just cleverly avoided explaining. They said that if people wanted to had babies, they'd get pregnant, but sometimes people wanted a baby and they didn't get pregnant, and sometimes they didn't want a baby and did get pregnant. They basically just skipped the sex step and went straight for the profit.
 
My parents always told me that babies came from my moms stomach. I thought they mean literally every baby ever. I thought my mom was god for a while. Yeah, I was like 5, I quickly grew out of that and realized it was a lie. I told them to stop lying to me and they told me the truth. I've been a very strange kid since.
 
I don't recall ever asking my parents where babies come from... so I wouldn't really know what they've said. I think it was probably due to the fact that I didn't care. Either that, or it never occurred to me to ask.
 
My Catholic parents just told me that God had decided it was yet again time for another child and my devout little self didn't question that fact any further. God was the answer! God was the only answer!
 
My parents told me the truth from the first time I asked. Though I never really asked them until I was around 8 or 9 but they didn't feel the need to lie to me I guess lol
 
i was under the impression that bought babies kinda like you buy pizzas and the stork just drops off the baby at the doorstep. after that i had this theory that you lay under the sheets with someone you love and then some time later the lady poops out a baby. i thought that women pooped out babies until i was probably 10.
 
I don't recall ever asking this question when I was younger...not sure if I was ever really interested.

I did at least know that babies came from moms somehow - but I never knew, or wanted to know, any of the details of "how". I think I was content with "they just happen" and "mommy went to the hospital and came back with a baby somehow". :P

I don't remember the age I was when I found out for certain...
 
It's funny, I don't remember this question coming up when I was younger. But I'm sure my parents woud have told me the truth without giving any graphic details.
 
My mom tried to beat around the bush as much as possible and give me as few details as possible. Basically just that babies came from their parents, so I just asked Dad.

...He told me everything. In detail.
 
I never actually asked them that question lol. I just thought that mommy gets pregnant and then a baby comes out, but never on how mommy gets pregnant in the first place.

There's no sex ed here either. All I get is biology videos on how a sperm meets an ovum and that's it. yay.
 
I remember asking this when I was like 4 or 5, they pretty much told me everything.
Plus there was this book about aids in the main library at school that I once found kept on the table I was to sit in, I read that for like 2 whole weeks, everyday whenever I got a break during school. That pretty much made me understand everything. I think I was 7 or 8 when I read that book. Had very graphic pictures *shudders* at least for the then me.
