I thought the storks were bringing the kids ...
I grew up in a well-structured home among a large number of siblings, there are eight of us in total, I am the eldest of my family clan, Galenkp, I remember that my maternal house was very large, something like a Queenslander in your country, with a huge backyard and front with many fruit trees, flower gardens, and a huge terrace. I have many memories of my younger brothers playing and literally every two years my beautiful mother was pregnant.
From Mommy's third pregnancy, being her eldest daughter, she always told me that the bbs were brought by the stork hahahah😂, and in the afternoons near where we lived was the lake of Maracaibo, we were born on the eastern shore of Lake Maracaibo.
They always flew by in the afternoon, the storks by my house and mommy would tell me "ask the stork that you want to bring us" I remember shouting "stork I want a little sister to play with", and that made me 😂 very happy, I believed in the stork almost until the sixth (6th) of my younger sisters when my mom was pregnant.
I had my period for the first time when I was 9 years old, that's when I knew the truth, that the stork... (DOES NOT BRING THE BABIES) my mom told me everything, but in a very cute way about how between kisses, cuddles and intercourse (the dance between the sperm to reach the egg) a man and a woman made the babies, and reinforced it through a beautiful gift, a book called,... Where do children come from? My mother Elsie is a very intellectual woman she was explaining it to me very well, with clear and simple words and illustrations from that book, before my questions, imagine, she is a university professor of philosophy and letters, she gave me very explanatory books about fertilization, and she told me: well Janitze, now you can be a mother, but it's not time yet, you must study and be a good woman, before procreating babies.
This is another reason to thank my mom for being an engine and inspiration, for being that important presence that supports, accompanies and embraces even without words, where the picardy turns on and time stops.
On the other hand, I believed in Santa Klaus until I grew up and when I found out I played crazy... so that they would keep leaving presents on my Christmas tree, I also believed that if they dug up the dirt they could get to China like in the little comics... I was disappointed to see that everything on TV was acted.
