Myth Busters - Yes, it IS that serious

Social work has got to be one of the most intersting careers a person could ever have. Within my line of work, I've come across some very intersting individuals. Within my life, for that matter, I have come across some very interesting and unique individuals.

For the past couple weeks, I have been helping train a new girl at my job. We've had some very... interesting conversations during this time. Today's topics included the idea of social workers banding together to come up with some sort of book busting every unusual belief and what is believed as "facts" among several very unusual individuals. So, I've decided to come up with my own 'myth busters' out of every unusual thing I've ever been told or heard that has been told to someone else. I think many of you will find the following interesting, while others may un-nervingling find it useful.

• If you jump up and down after having sex, you will not get pregnant.
• FICTION
• Jumping up and down after sex is only considered more of a workout than the one you just received prior to the act of jumping up and down. Sperm are very powerful little creatures, and I'd be willing to bet that, out of the millions of them that traveled through your body, only one or two fell to the ground during your jumping.
• Men can have babies because Arnold did it.
• FICTION AND NON
• Men can have babies. Physically, their bodies are not made to handle child birth and there is the good chance that both the man and the baby may not survive, but no, Arnold did not really have a baby in the movie.
• You can't take a bath when you're pregnant because you might drown the baby.
• FICTION
• You can stink all you want, but I promise, the baby can probably swim better than you can at birth. Babies are surrounded by fluids in the womb. Even if bath tub water could get to the baby by simply sitting in the tub, it's not going to drown the baby.
• You can't be in labor now. You're not supposed to go into labor until 8am.
• FICTION
• You can be in labor whenever the hell your body and the baby says you're in labor. Induction, c-section... it doesn't matter. If you're in labor, you're in labor, point blank, period. You can't always schedule a baby being born.
• Nitrogen-filled tires blow up when you put air in them.
• FICTION
• It may not be a wonderful idea to put air in a Nitrogen-filled tire, but it's not going to blow up.
• If you don't teach kids about sex, they won't have sex.
• FICTION
• You can leave a kid in the dark all you want, but they still have the body parts necessary to do what you may not want them to do... ever. If you continue to believe this way, just be prepared to find your child randomly jumping up and down for no apparent reason.
• Oral sex is not sex because you can't get pregnant.
• FICTION
• I'm pretty sure 'sex' is mentioned after the word 'oral.' Correct me if I'm wrong.

I'm nearly 100% positive there will be a sequel to this.
