Size matters when you are 4

We are working at a friend's house. The kids all just went swimming and when they came in they got changed.

As my friend changed her 3 year old boy, B went up to her, bent over and took a good look at his equipment. "How come it is so small?" She asked, looking up at my friend incredulously.

"My baby brother who is younger than him has a much bigger penis. He is much bigger than N. Why is his penis soooo small?"

My friend is writing this down for her son's 16th birthday.

Gender is a choice, yet defined

3/22/09

We were having a conversation over dinner tonight. I told N. that he is a beautiful boy. B. was very upset. "Time out, time out, time out," she said. "First of all N. is a boy, not a girl, and he doesn't wear dresses."

So apparently beautiful is an adjective that only applies to dresses, and girls.

B. is also going to grow a peanut when she gets bigger. It is going to be a big peanut. She thinks N. has a cute little peanut, but hers is going to be bigger.

Wedding Plans

1/2/09
So, B is getting married -- When she is either 5 years old or as tall as Mommy. She is marrying a boy from daycare, they have known each other since she was 14 weeks old, which means that they have known each other longer than Jim and I knew each other before we were engaged. She has picked out the wedding dress (it is pink). He told me that they are going to live in a castle, and she added in "Happily ever after"

We went to church with her fiance and his Mom on Christmas Eve. I learned that couples of all ages are exactly the same. At one point I looked over and she was gently rubbing his back. Then about 2 minutes later she was flipping through the hymnal and I caught this muted conversation:

A: B you are doing that wrong.
B: I am not doing it wrong. You always tell me that I am doing it wrong. I do not do it wrong, A. (huff)

His mom and I just looked at each other over their little teeny heads and started to laugh. I can't tell you how many times I've had that same arguement.

Her fiance is the same little boy that she got to do her homework for her. She was supposed to write her name under where the teacher wrote it for her first. She decided that it would "be too hard, so I just asked A to do it for me and he did".

Honestly, he is a very smart kid, so wouldn't it be a great story if they do get married. They're going to the same Elementary, Jr. High, and High School if no one moves....

Hmmmm..... check back in about 20 years for the result!
