Potty Talk


I try not to write too much about potty training because I know Nick will hate me for it later, and quite frankly, who needs to hear about that kind of stuff. But this was funny.

We have made an effort to teach Nick the correct terminology for boy parts and girl parts. This morning, while Nick was sitting on the potty, he asked "Nathan has a penis?"

"yes, Nate has a penis."

"Daddy has a penis?"

"Yes, Daddy has a penis."

"Mommy has a penis."

"No," I said. "Mommy doesn't have a penis."

There was a light pause and then he said:

"Mommy has GENIUS?"

Yes. Yes, mommy has genius. A whole lotta genius.

Ahh, that boy is growing up just fine! I hope he maintains this type of thinking into his maturity -- his future girlfriends & wife will thank you for it! But, of course, you are a genius, & it doesn't take a boy to see that!!!
