girls have got .. - 05:54 PM
(filed under 'smiley')
the other day, smiley & i started talking about eggs. human eggs, that is. you see, somehow we'd started talking about how a baby grows from an egg. he wanted to see a picture of a human egg, so i took out the excellent pregnancy book that my sister gave me years ago when i went off the pill to become pregnant with smiley.
i showed him the pictures in there of what an egg looks like. he was fascinated with the diagrams in there & he asked me which bits were what. so i pointed out the various bits in the diagrams of the female reproductive system, telling him the proper names & then describing in terms he could understand what those various parts were for. that's where the poo comes out, that's where the wee comes out, that's where the baby comes out, etc.
he was so interested that he even turned over the corners of the pages that he really liked so he could come back to them later.
so on thursday afternoon, we were on our way home from his home education group play time with the other kids, when he started to tell me the difference between boys & girls. i thought to myself, 'this'll be interesting.'
he told me how you could tell who was a girl & who was a boy & he started to say, 'girls have got ..' & then he paused.
i held my breath for a moment, thinking, 'goodness me. is he about to tell me about vaginas??'
& then he continued with, 'girls have got pretty names.'
rotfl!!!! 
Just this morning, my almost-3-year-old says "Girls have badg-inas and boys have peanuts." The 4.5 year old corected her gravely: "No, darling, girls have VEG-inas, and boys have ... I think it's penises, but I'm not sure, anyway something sticking out into the toilet for wee-wees." Heh. They are funny little things.
