Every parent I've ever met has one of "those" stories about their 3-5 year old saying something completely embarrassing in public. Something tells me that my story will be about Nate. I've already explained the whole Steve thing and how Nate remembers everything we tell him. On Saturday, Nate wanted to come into the bathroom with me when I needed to go.
Nate: Mommy let me see your p.enis.
Me: I don't have one.
Nate: Why don't you have one?
Me: Only boys have them. Girls don't have them.
As I said the words to him, I knew they would come back later.
This morning, Jon was getting the boys ready for school and Nate said in his loudest possible voice, "Did you know only boys have p.enises? Girls don't have them." The look on Jon's face was priceless. How do you even respond to that? Um, thanks? Yes, that's correct? Thanks for the info buddy? Why do you choose to tell me this when I'm just trying to brush your teeth?
PS. My Jon and Kate Plus 8 premiere thoughts on HDYDI today.

LOL. I should give you my mom's phone number so you can commiserate with her about this. It's interesting, my parents have three children, and a number of stories like that...but every single one of them involves me. I'm really hoping that karma does not apply in this matter.
Hahaha! Great story. Marissa (just turned 3) recently informed me (while I was changing her little sister's diaper) that some kids have things that "go out", while demonstrating with her hands where it comes out of. Lol! I really didn't think we'd be having that conversation already!
I haven't had one of those moments yet, but I know it's coming. My daughters' preschool teacher recently told me that she took her 4-year-old son shopping and pointed out a cute dress to him. He looked at her and screamed "If you buy that for me you'll have to cut off my penis." She nearly died trying to get him out of the store as fast as possible.
My neice who is almost 3 told me that her brother and daddy have pee pee's like the boys but she doesn't have one. Out of curiousity as to what my sister had taught her I asked "Really, well what do you have?" and she responded "I just have a butt!"
I think someone needs and anatomy lesson and she is not getting it from Aunt Becky! :)
Genius!
I told M about the Steve thing. He thought it was awesome. :-)
Oh that is precious!
That made me giggle!!! And the funny thing is that they make those comments at the most random times, like your son did. My kids usually make random statements like that to the checkers at the grocery store, like "My mommy said that girls can't marry girls". Yeah, okay....so that will be $45.99....
I just pre-wrote a post for tomorrow on my thoughts about the Jon and Kate premier!!!! I'm off to read what your thoughts were!
Love this! These things always make me giggle. I read your post on Jon and Kate plus 8 and have to tell you that I was up for a long time after watching it as well. I couldn't believe how much thought I actually put into it! Ridiculous. But I agree, seeing those kids say that they missed thier dad made me very sad. And it made me think of so many other issues. Sigh.
