Encouters With The Opposite Sex

by Mrs. Chicken on August 10, 2008

The Poo: (watches the boy getting a diaper change) Mommy, I don’t like to look at Shaggy’s round part.

Mommy: The round part?

The Poo: (pointing) Yeah. That. His round part.

Mommy: That’s called his penis.

The Poo: I don’t like to look at his penis.

Mommy: That’s OK, then just don’t look at it.

The Poo: I don’t like penises.

Daddy: That’s good, Poo.

Mommy: *rolls eyes*

too funny! we also had lots of penis talk when the girls were joined by their little brother.

Our then 3 year old would try to pull it off at diaper changes because it just didn’t look right to her!

And our 4 year old kept commenting on how “big” it was!

Therapy, here we come!

Congrats on your new boy!

LOL. I have the opposite thing in my house – my boys want to know where mine is!!

Hopefully she feels that way for a long time to come :)

I always had to explain to Evan that Flynn didn’t have a penis. He kept calling her girlie bits her “penis”. So funny. Flynn heard the word “penis” so often she started calling her own bits her “penis”, even though I had explained again and again that she didn’t have one and told her what her parts were called. Finally, she started using the correct word or how she pronounces it, “bagina.”

Are you home and getting all settled in?

Ha! Typical daddy response to his little girl claiming she don’t like those parts! My daughter was the same way with each of her brothers. One would think when her third brother joined us she would have it down. Guess not! The boys on the other hand tell me I lost mine and need to go to the doctor to get it back. And tell Sissy the same thing. Now if I can just get them to stop walking in one me….

Congrats on having the boy!!

My daughter has two older brothers so she thinks she has a penis. Says it all of the time.

Kimberly August 10, 2008 at 12:58 pm

Ha! “The round part.”
DY-ING!

That’s what dad’s are for, right?

I was 4 years older than my little brother and I distincly remember getting an eyefull during diapering, and, he got me once . . . that was the end of that.

Tell The Poo that I totally feel her pain.

Issa August 10, 2008 at 6:51 pm

Am cracking up over here. Just remind her of this fact when she is a teenager.

That’s hilarious! When I was teaching first grade, I once had a girl tell me (while the class was in line going out to recess) that her SISTER had a penis. I tried not to choke as I said, “Um, M—, I don’t think sisters have that body part.” She gave me a LOOK and declared, “Oh YEAH? Then what did I see under her B-U-T-T?” I think (hope) I managed to tell her to ask her mother before I *died* laughing over on the teacher’s bench and shooed her off to the slides. Kids are so funny!

priceless friend.

Rachael August 10, 2008 at 11:40 pm

That is hilarious! When my friend’s 3 year old was in the bath with her 1 year old brother, she was concerned, pointed and said he was broken.

Heather August 11, 2008 at 12:25 am

lol!

When I started teaching my “Stranger Danger” and my children learned the words “penis and vagina” they became their favorite insult words. I am horrified to think of my neighbor hearing my yelling “stop calling each other penis and chyna (vagina)”!

My Son is my oldest. His first encounter with the opposite sex was during a diaper change of his sister who was only 2 yrs younger. This diaper change happened when her cord came off and she had a regular belly button. He saw the dried up part of the cord and her “girly parts”. He screamed! “HER PEANUT FELL OFF!” He was terrified that his Penis would fall off. I explained over and over again that she never had one and that it was her cord. YIKES!

Good to hear most of these diaper changes go with a funny!

Oh, that’s funny. Thank God I have children of all the same gender so THAT conversation is getting put off a little.
