squirty things

by teresa
Yesterday was my day in the nursery at church. Another mom who was serving with me had the cutest story. She has three daughters. Last weekend she babysat a little baby boy. Her youngest daughter (5) stood beside her as she changed his diaper. She took off his diaper and he wiggled around and pulled at "himself" and peed straight in the air. Her daughter just stared in amazement. The mom realized this was the first time her daughter had seen a boys "stuff" ...ever. She expected questions...but the girl just walked away silent. One week later the girl walked up to the her dad (she had thought about this for an entire week) and asked....Daddy....do all boys have squirty things? As she said...squirty things...she held her hangs together infront of her like she was holding a little hose. The dad giggled and said...ummmm...yes, all boys have those squirty things. The little girl walked away. Then thought about it for a moment or two and returned. Well...daddy....if all boys have squirty things....does that mean you do too? Ummmm...yes honey...I have one too...he answered.
All us moms in the nursery laughed about this. How she mulled over what she had seen for a week before she asked questions. And how she looked as though she was jipped because of not having such a cool squirty thing too.

When I had my little girl after having two boys, my four year old was the one with the questions. He kept saying, "Her part will grow in when she gets bigger, won't it mommy?"
