... from the mouth of the youngest yesterday. Why, you ask? Because I never, ever, get to use the bathroom alone. I explained that I do not have a penis, because mommy is a girl, and girls do not have a penis. "Oh yes they do!" was the come back, and as my child has never been to a Thai strip club, I could assure him that no, girls do not have penises. What we do have, in fact, is a "fa-china" as his older brothers told him quite emphatically.
This makes the 3rd and final time I've had to go thru this discussion. I look forward to when he decides to revisit this topic in public. Say, Sunday around lunchtime, when most everyone is out of church, and at the grocery store. I'm sure that like his two brothers before him, that he will make it a point to ask me if various people have a penis by pointing and loudly asking if they do. There's really nothing quite like the expression of proper Southern Little Old Lady who has just been pointed at at close range by a 3 year old, who in 3 year old volume asks "Does that lady have a penis? Oh wait, I forgot. She has a fa-china."
