PNS

I was grocery shopping today with Carly- always a joy! She loves to sound out letters and try to figure out the word. I was grabbing ground beef- and she was sounding out lot's of different things next to me. Suddenly she said in a VERY LOUD and clear voice, "Mom, look at that huge penis right there!" I asked what- not really thinking I heard her right. But she said it again, and pointed at a chub of ground beef a little ways down. On the front of it were the letters PNS- she sounded out the letters and that's what she came up with! I about died!!





There was an older couple next to me who were laughing, as I tried explaining that did not say what she thought it did. Carly doesn't even know what penis is, but because of my reaction she started asking what it is. I finally told her and she stopped asking and repeating that word!

I don't think Lexi and Ashlee know what a penis (the term anyway) is- in a house full of girls, there is no need to explain that. But when we have watched little boys in the past and changed diapers- they thought the baby had poop stuck to his bum, so I did have the chance to tell them boys are different then girls. I don't know what's worse- kids thinking a penis is poop, or thinking a chub of hamburger is a penis!!

That's hilarious. I love hearing things little kids say but this one definitely takes the cake! I'm anxious for the laughter that is awaiting us down the road with our soon to be little girl.

Oh, that's so funny! Kids definitely keep us on our toes, and very entertained (and embarrassed at times). :)

Too funny!!! Jonathan had "the talk" with the kids a year or so ago, reading them the book "Where Did I Come From"... maybe a little sooner than I was prepared for, but they did great. At this age they don't get freaked out or weirded out by it. They were just like, "okay." Later one of the boys commented that Daddy must have put his penis in Mommy three times because there are 3 kids in our family-- and Kizi said quite firmly, "no, only two times, because you guys are twins!" Ummm... maybe they don't QUITE get it!!
