While changing my 2 1/2 year old nephew’s diaper today, he reached down and touched himsself and said " Play with my pee-pee" I smiled and he followed that up with, " I gonna play with my pee-pee a lot". I could only reply, Yup, you probably are… ---

Make sure to remember that story so you can tell it at his wedding. Or High School graduation. Or any of his birthdays. Heck, just tell it everytime you see him or anyone who knows him. ---

I warn you. If you ever breathe that story to another living soul who could ever possibly come in contact with your son, he will feel no compunction whatsoever in taking a contract out on you, and I should know. Just a friendly warning from someone of what is typically referred to as a sensitive age. 🙂 ---

Just wait til he starts announcing in public, “I have a penis, I’m a boy. My cousin doesn’t have a penis, she has a bagina cuz she’s a girl. Do you have a penis or a bagina?” Or “Daddy pees standing up cause his penis is big and mine is downy-downy” Or when he takes the pamphlet from his mother’s box of tampons and says “Read this to me, pleeeaaase” ---

Do all (or most) little kids go throw this stage of saying extremely embarassing things involving their sexual organs??? I hope so, b/c my friend’s 2 1/2 year old keeps saying things like “let me kiss your privates” and then start poking my boob. or she’ll try to poke my crotch and say 'these are your privates". she just does it out of no where. Her mother (my friend) tells her to stop and that we do not touch other peoples privates, but of course she doesn’t listen. when does this end??? Sometimes I’m afraid when the kid starts walking towards me, like I’m dreading what’s going to come out of her mouth… Let’s everyone tell an embarrasing story about something a little darling said… ---

Monica, I hope that’s perfectly normal because my son is still doing that sort of thing. I think he’s got the idea that other people’s privates are private, but it’s open season on mommie’s. He’s always telling me “Hey, let me doink your bubbiebuttons” (that means, let me poke your nipples). The best thing to do, is to react as little as possible and tell them in a firm voice “No.” That’s the theory anyways… ---

My cousin Bella is nearly 2, and she loves to smack boobs. She’ll come up to me (or anyone female in the family) and says “Pweeeeeease?” At first we thought she wanted to be picked up, but when you lean over she’ll whack em pretty damn hard for 2 year old. Also, her mom taught her to say “Hoo ha” (this word for vagina has been passed down for many generations in my family) and “penis,” so she’ll run around playing, then stop and screech “Hooooooooo Haaaaaa! Peeeeeeeeeeeeeeenis!” Needless to say, it stops conversation for a second. 🙂 ---

Huh. When my son was 3, or 3 he saw me using a tampon. So then he grabbed one and tried to insert it, but I said, Uh, it doesn’t go there! Once, he was taking a bath, and said,“Mommy, my butts broke!” “Why do you say that?” “Theres a crack in it!” right, set your mom up with a straight line… ---

wooohooo a man who changes diapers 😉 I was babysitting my girlfriend’s daughter who was about 3 at the time and had my son on the change table, sans diaper, fresh from a bath. Jenna was watching intently and finally pointed and said ewwwwww whats that, I don’t have one of those. I was laughing at her seriousness and told her that it was a very good question to ask her mom. ---

I was babysitting a couple of little girls years ago, maybe 4 or 5 years old. I was using the toilet, when they opened the door…then shut it, and I heard one say to the other" I saw his _PENIS_!", then lots of giggles. I made sure I told their parents when they returned. I was sure if I didn’t, the cops would be calling on me that night after the girls told their folks " I saw his _PENIS_!"
