True story, told to me by my mother (I was too young to remember it
directly):
When I was in grade school (I forget which grade, first?), our teacher
told us that she was pregnant, and told us about how the baby was
growing in her tummy, and I said something like "Actually [one of my
favorite words back then], it's in the uterus" or something like that!

They won't be happy until they find a "cure" for every deviation from
the average, a "cure" for people who are lazy, have low libido, high
libido, shy, overly talkative, etc., etc., etc.
