That seems unlikely to be true unless they were raised very religious and not in any proximity to farm animals or pets.
Religious, yes. But very much on a farm.
So she knew if the farm animals had sex they'd become pregnant?
She lived on the farm, but she didn't work it; that's what the male children were for. Her "place" was in the house.
She told me she would ask sometimes, but all anybody would ever tell her was some variation of, "Birds fly. Fish swim. Women have babies. That's just what they do/That's just the way it is."
She finally found out from her doctor while discussing her hysterectomy, but only after confirming her husband was already dead.
