Pumpkins at the stem

This morning I removed two pumpkins growing from the stem. Aside from long buried memories of wanting when I was that age to be "where the boys are," I can't figure out why I have females there. 

Is this a strange plant?

Am I a bad grower?

Does this happen all the time and nobody talks about it?

Or what?
