This little "monkey" has had me in tears, laughing so hard several times this last week! But the best conversation that, God help me, was not allowed to even crack a smile on my face, took place a little more then 10 days ago. (Oh I do hope she does not kill me, when she reads this later on in her life!) It went something like this:
"Mommy, you know, I have a little penis, too."
(This comment comes despite the fact that many times we have had conversations about the differences between boys and girls and all that jazz... but I can be patient!)
"Really? You do? Hmm..."
"Yes. It's just very little. When I grow up to be six, like Kaspar. It will be just as big as Kaspar's!"
She was so serious!!! I tried so hard not to laugh. Oh my! And believe me, at that moment she was not interested whatsoever in hearing that she is wrong. And just prove her point, a little later on, I found her standing in front of the toilet "I'm trying to pee like the boys do." she said. "But you're a girl, are you not?" said I, pleadingly. "Yes." as she shut the door on me. I still found a puddle on the floor later... Some fights are just not worth fighting :-)
