Nope. Not Nostrils.

While driving back from my Grandma's house with my parents last Sunday, Big pup (age 6) and I (age...24, ahem) had a strange but necessary conversation.


Big pup: What are those things called? Nostrils?

Me: (Pointing to my nose) Yep. Those are nostrils.

Big pup: No. Those round things under my pee pee.

Me: Oh! Those are testicles.

Big pup: Teh..tes...What is it again?

Me: Testicles.

Big pup: Oh, yeah. I can never get that right.
Big pup: But wh--
Me: Hey, look out the window! Are those cows?

Oh Ali!! You had me laughing out loud with that one! I am so happy you didn't give him some cute little name for his anatomy.....you gotta call em what they are, trust me, the boys in school will more than inform him of all the other names.

Those questions we all fear! Thanks for popping in at my place.

Allison said...

That is hilarious! Great diversion!

Merrie said...

LOL! I still won't tell Charlie what a girl's nether regions are called. He's seven, and I can just see him getting suspended for yelling out "Vagina!" So we call it the Humberfloob. :)

But I did tell him about his testicles, and he wasn't terribly impressed.

Chris said...

Now that's funny!

So glad I clicked over here. This made my day!

I confused my children so much that they call hardened mucous "tiny nostrils." Gross, I know.

The other? Well, they just call them the privacy balls.

It's their own coinage.

Oh, these boys! Mine at 4 is always asking questions about his privates. And talking about it and I want to run and hide. Or laugh out loud. But I have to be serious and not make a big deal out of it.

So funny! Thanks for sharing. I know I am not alone now.
