When I was a young-in and still naïve to the world around
me, I had some… interesting ideas about where babies came from. For some
reason, I was under the impression that when a couple is married, the wife’s
wedding ring sends a little UFO into the stomach which creates the baby. Feel
free to laugh at this in all its preciousness, because I honestly never
stopped. What I’m getting at with all this is that, because of my own
misconceptions about conception, recurring ideas like “storks deliver babies”
don’t seem as ludicrous to me as they
probably should. Not that I’m advocating lying to children or anything, but I
do understand not telling them the whole
truth when they’re too young to understand ideas like sex. I mean, hell, some
adults are still struggling to deal with sex in its many bizarre facets.
Considering all this, today’s film centred on probably the oldest wives’ tale
involving baby-making already gets the head-tilt seal of approval. Does it get
any other seals of approval?
