She said, "A man and a woman take off all their clothes, then the man puts something called a rubber on his butt, and then they have a baby." Also, for a long long time, I thought that God might or might not give a woman a baby if she was married, or divorced, or widowed, but that it was physically impossible for a never-married woman to have a baby.
