Out of the mouths of babes

Yesterday, Munchkin had a homework assignment where he was supposed to scramble his spelling words, and then give them to somebody else to unscramble. So he sits down at the table and goes about writing down each word with the letters scrambled, and, when he finishes, he looks at his mom and says "I'm going to give this to Daddy to figure out because you're too smart and you will figure it out too quickly"

Gee, thanks son.

Last night, Angel and I were just finishing tucking the kids in when she announced that she'd be right back because she had to pee. As soon as she left, Meatball (the 4 year old) looked at me very seriously and said "does mommy have a penis now?"

I gave him a hug and explained that, while girls are sans penis, they do have a hole to pee out of. It just doesn't stick out like a boy's does.

He thought about this for a few seconds and asked "does she pee out of her tush and pretend like she's pooping?"

I'm going to miss his innocence in the years to come.

Personal hygiene

I know a few people who think it's sick to shave the pubic area. "What are you, some kind of pedophile? You must secretly want to have sex with 12 year old girls." they will say. Oddly though, they see nothing inappropriate about shaving their legs and armpits.

Parenting

There was a diaper commercial on TV last night that included this line: "It stops leaks and at a lower cost than other, more expensive brands." Wow! Ya think?

Being a parent is so much easier now than it was a generation ago. These days, all parents have to do is whatever their kids tell them to do.
