Mitosis and Meiosis, i just confused myslef, help!?

Its very simple...When normal body cells are multiplying, we call that mitosis coz each cell divides into two cells which have the same no of chromosomes as the parent cell that is 46 chromosomes or 23 pairs of chromosomes. But at a certain point they sort of branch out to give the sperm or egg cell wherein each cell multiplies to give 2 cells but this time with half the no of chromosomes of that of the parent cell that is 23.
