The Beginnings of Sex Education

This post may be TMI. Read at your own risk.

(Mommy steps out of the shower. Ryan is waiting there to open the shower door for her.)

Ryan (staring at mommy's you-know-what): Mommy, is that your penis?

Mommy: No Ryan, Mommy doesn't have a penis.

Ryan: Daddy has a penis?

Mommy: Yes

Ryan: Ryan has a penis?

Mommy: Yes

(Several moments go by while Ryan ponders.)

Ryan: What is that mommy?

(Mommy wonders what she should say. Should she go clinical? Should she call it a "hoo-hoo"? "Va-jay-jay"? "Cutchie"?)

Mommy: It's a vagina.

(Several more moments go by while Ryan ponders.)

Ryan: Do I have one?

Mommy (after doubling over from laughter): No Ryan, only girls have vaginas. Boys have penises. Justin!! It's time for you to get Ryan ready now... please!
