The discussion of penises, has of late taken up a lot of my time, what with the 3 year old deciding of his own volition that he will indeed stand up while he pees which means I'm now keeping a roll of paper towels and a squeegee next to the toilet. If only I had a Sham-Wow. But I opted for the Slap Chop instead. I know, I'm kicking myself.
And so this morning as I held my breath, while my son swayed unsteadily in front of the toilet insisting he did not sit down to pee anymore (he turned around to tell me this, while still peeing) we had a few things to clear up. Mainly who in fact has a penis and who doesn't. As my son rhymed off every person he knew including all of our neighbors, Twist from The Fresh Beat Band, and my father, I was required to indicate the presence or absence of a penis.
The conclusion being that everyone has a penis.
Especially Milton Berle.
Laughing at that! Reminds me of the time my cousin, a Grade 6 teacher, was demonstrating something for her computer class. I think she was showing them how to find clip art for Halloween on Google Images (or similar). On the projection screen, she inputted Candy. Let's just say it was all PG-13...
ReplyDeleteDoes your son love Twist from the Fresh Beat Band as much as my daughter?
ReplyDeleteMy daughter loves to go through all the people she knows and identify whether they have a penis or a vagina. It is a fun game:)
I never want my son to learn he can pee standing up. I guess I will have to start getting my husband to pee sitting down. :-)
ReplyDeleteMy friend just told me her daughter had asked why women couldn't have penis transplants, especially in countries with poor women's rights records. My daughter still often uses the term 'weenie' to refer to her vagina. Talk about conversations that need to be had on International Women's Day.
ReplyDeleteI am so glad I had daughters...I think
ReplyDeleteThis made me chuckle. At 9 months, my boy is far from understanding any of this or asking questions but I'm super excited about conversations like these. Love how their little minds work.
ReplyDeletewe own a sham wow, and use it frequently. we have 3 boys, it's a requirement!

I think guys standing up to pee is dumb. I intend to tell my son this too but I doubt he'll listen. In fact he'll probably pee on me while explaining how awesome it is to pee standing up. After all, how else would you get to pee on your mother?
ReplyDeleteThis is something interesting making a blog related to penises because what is the real subject of this? I mean why to know more about it if everybody knows about it, well all of us are in the right to talk about we want.
