Bwahahahaha! Literal tears running down my face laughing about that conversation.

 

I had an equally weird conversation with Michael today about how I have breasts and can he touch them? I just didn't know what the right answer was.

 

Okay, I had to google merfolk. Am I the only one?

Okay then.

Yikes hey! This parenting without the manual is scary stuff.

 

I never thought of that before. What an excellent question!

 

You are too funny! Kami, don't feel bad, I didn't catch on to the "merfolk" thing right away, either. I thought perhaps Ariele was a friend from school! LOL

Just wait, Alex! The questions get much more interesting as they get older! (I don't want to tell you too much, it would scare the begeebers out of ya!) :0 If only there was such a manual, being a parent would be soooo much easier!

I like cookies, too. Excellent how he can move from one topic to another with such ease.

If you do ever learn about the genitalia of merfolk, let me know if they have pubic hair. I was never curious about that until now, but since you brought up the topic, it strikes me as interesting. Scales and hair seem sort of messy.

 

I feel you. I had a five minute conversation about why one of my dogs has a penis and the other one doesn't. Good times.

 

Did you see Liz's post at Mom-101 today? She went to a toy show, and there were a series of anatomically correct multi-cultural dolls. Maybe they need to add merfolk!

 

I think the last line of that conversation about summed up the attention span of a preschooler. For you, sex is a tricky topic. For him, it is about as noteworthy as cookies. It's too funny.

 

Oh lord help me when we get to that phase. Uggh. I love that cookies are far more interesting to him though.

 

Interesting.. I had a conversation like that yesterday. My OS said Mom, you have a vagina, right? And you sit to pee, and I have a penis, and boys stand. I said that some boys sit to pee, and that's ok too. Then he said that he was going to "wrap a vagina around" his penis... so he could sit to pee? I don't know... I was truly flabbergasted. I said that he couldn't really do that, boys just have penises and girls have vaginas, and people don't have both. Merfolk on the other hand, just may!

 

Last week during his shower, one of my little men asked what was behind his p*nis. That led to the big conversation.

 

Hmm...Ariel has a vagina?
