#61 - Something strange just occurred to me...

[reileen]

When I was really little, like maybe around 3-5 years old, I distinctly remember reading through the child care books and magazines that were lying around my house numerous times.*

Contrast this with the fact that all throughout my life, I have had no real desire to be a mother.**

**In a similar vein, I also don't think I ever asked my parents where babies came from. Either I found out on my own through my reading (very likely), or I simply never thought to ask because after all, who'd ever want to have those little monsters? [/tongue-in-cheek]

I think I found out about it somehow at some point before third or fourth grade on my own...that and we also had that ridiculous "New Creation" quasi sex ed program at my school too. XD Those classes always made for awkward times...
