Ethan-6yr, regarding the shape of Caden-2yr's grilled cheese sandwich: That is the exact elephant that is thirsty enough to drink the river of China dry.
Caden-2yr (beaming, over the special quality of his sandwich): YEAH.
Then he proceeds to walk his special elephant sandwich all over the table, while making elephant noises. (note: want one of these special sandwiches? take a small bite out of a grilled cheese triangle. voila.) Ethan-6yr and Seth-1yr join in the thirsty elephant chorus and BOY are they loud, and it becomes apparent that NO WAY is anyone eating that so-special elephant that is so thirsty it could drink the river of China dry.
No. I don't have a clue what he's talking about. As usual.
Then we had a little what-is-a-penis and what-is-a-vagina talk, just to round off the night. Yaknow, because those things are important to talk about, and why not right then after the three thirsty elephant brothers stampede through the dining room?

Here's a funny thing Trinity said that's about a similar topic of what boys and girls have, hehe.
Kids are so silly! http://qtpies7.blogspot.com/2007/02/trinity-funnies.html
I'm actually an eager participant in vagina and penis talks in our home. Mostly because I was APAULED when my hubby proudly showed me that our 1 year old could point out his penis on demand, but ask where his ears or eyes where and he was lost . . . THIS HAD TO BE CORRECTED, so with a chatty 3 year old and our 1 year old we take the opportunity to differentiate boys vs girls and explain that all - ALL our parts where made by God with purpose that is good. But we do speak to her of her vulva . . . it's more accurate, really.
Wow I am the first to comment here:))
After a long night I loved reading this, just the laugh I needed. How are things going for you? You're not washing too much laundry are you??:)
