Anatomy 101: Again!

Brennan snuck up on me while I was changing out of my clothes after work. He gazed at me with shock, pointed at my nether region and asked, "Momma, where's your penis?"

I tried to casually clothe myself without revealing the panic I felt at having to teach my child anatomy while I was bare assed naked.

Me (after I coughed and cleared my throat several times): "Well, B., ah, see, well, um, mommies don't actually have penises." (Penises? Peni? I have no idea - and no way am I googling it to figure it out.)

Brennan: "No?" He stands staring at me in disbelief. "Whatch you got then?"

Me: (sighing) "Mommies have vaginas."

Brennan: "Yeah?"

Me: "Yes. "

Brennan: "Not me. I have a penis. Like Daddy."

Me: "Yes. Daddies have penises. Mommies have vaginas."

Brennan: "I like my penis."

Me: "That's good Brennan."

Wordlessly, Brennan shakes his head back and forth. After a beat, he turns to leave the room and says, "I no like 'ginas momma."

Well, alrighty then.
