Drazil's post today has totally inspired this one so be forewarned!
Once upon a time I was driving my cute little Tommy around - he was probably 6ish, but that's a total guess. And he had recently walked in on me going to the bathroom one too many times... where it finally truly occurred to him that I did not have a penis (I guess maybe he was a bit younger??)
Anyway we're driving along and thank the heavenly lord above he's in the backseat so he could not see my face, but the conversation went something like this.
Tommy: Seriously, you really don't have a penis?
Me: Yup, girls don't have penises, only boys do.
Tommy: okay - but where does the pee come out? It's got to come out somewhere. (did I mention that Tommy is a little engineer in the making - he must understand how things work)
Me: There's a little hole down there, it's just not at the end of a penis.
Tommy: A hole? Hmmmm. Ridgely's a girl. (Ridgley was our lab)
Me: yup, Ridgley's a girl (Okay, where is this going?)
Him: She has like a tiny little penis and that's where the pee comes out of, right.
Me: (oh god) um.. yup.. that's right, but it's not a penis.
Him: But so girls have something like that?
Me: uh... sure. yeah, it's something like that, but not exactly - you know - most girls don't have fur.
Him: Okay, got it. Can I see yours.
Me: uh, that would be a no. I'll see if I can find a picture for you.
That satisfied him. Kept the car on the road and got him to school on time. I never did find a book to show him.

Hahaha most girls don't have fur down there. Priceless!!!
these convos would freak me the eff out!
My boys and I have already had this conversation as well... little boys are a hoot. LOL
I ain't showin' em my lady penis either. Uh-uh.
The joys of parenthood!
Your kids are hilarious!! Is this what I have to look forward to?
LOL!
I love conversations like this...I think having all of one gender in the house prompts some of the more difficult ones...We have not had the penis one in this girl house..its the period one and the what are those cows doing...and wow those ducks are really playing a lot this week..etc.
Tonight my grandson demanded that he feel my full tummy and I feel his..He said mine was flobby and his was poochy.
At about age 3-4 my daughter was convinced that her penis was in her bottom, except that she was certain that a penis was actually a tail!
OMG. Reason #1734 I could not be a mom.
