Gender 101: How To Raise Confused Kids

Bean: “When I grow up, I’m going to pee standing up!”

Buddy: “And when I grow up, I’m going to wear a dress!”

(Huh. Okay… that’s cool.)

:::

In the bathtub:

Buddy, pointing to Bean: “Hey, what happened to your p8nis??” Bean looks down to check.

(They take baths together every night. He just noticed? And… what is she looking for?)

    Classic. Love it. We have been wrestling with similar issues. Booper asked me the other night, “Can two boys get married?” I told him it depends where they live. In some places yes, and in some places no. (This may seem like a poor answer to some, but living in SF, we are dealing directly with this all the time.)

    Oh…and a few nights ago in the tub, The Caboose reach over gave Booper’s chaji a big squeeze. Ouch! Booper yelled, “Mommy, [The Caboose] squeezed my chaji. Chajis are fragile, like breasts!”

    Emmy loves to discuss her v*lva at potty time - and wants to know why Daddy has a “peanut.” :)

    My boy asked me why I didn’t have a penis, and I simply told him that I didn’t need one. To this he replied, “You can borrow daddy’s penis!” - sooo clever.

    B and B are so funny. Evie and Sweet pea occasionally take baths together. We haven’t had any of those types of questions yet. Although, Sweet Pea likes to wear Evie’s pink dress up heals.

    I swear to god. you have the funniest kids.

    I’m not saying that to be nice. You might have noticed by now that I’m not nice.

    It’s the cold hard truth. FUNNY.

    That was truly a classic. I love it! I can’t wait till my twins come.
    btw we don’t have twins in the family. But Fraternal twins are more hereditary than identical.
