I just HAD to share this; it was soo, soo, funny and at the same time very intelligent on his part. Talk about the Lord giving me new laughter! Here's what happened:
My 3, soon to be 4 year old son, just got out from taking his bedtime bath and I took him out with a towel around him and told him to stand on the bathroom rug while I grabbed some of his underwear from our laundry room. It took me a second because I had to go through the clothes in the dryer and when I finally found some I came back to the bathroom and he wasn't there. I checked his bedroom, my daughters bedroom, (all the while calling his name out loud for him). Then I asked Hannah 'Hannah, have you seen your brother?' She said he went that way and pointed towards the hallway where I just was. So then I decide to look in mine and my husbands bedroom, still yelling out his name.
It was then that I noticed our bed blankets move a tad so I lifted them and there he was playing with his pee-pee's. I asked him 'Sweetie, what are you doing in here? Mommy told you to wait in the bathroom.' He looked very upset while 'holding himself' and said 'Mommy I'm trying to get the ball.' I was confused and said 'What ball? Where?' He held his 'nuts' in his hand and said 'See, there's a ball stuck in it and I'm trying to get it out. Will you help me get the ball out mommy???' with a very upset and pouty, troubled face.
I chuckled lightly but not too much to make him feel bad and said 'Honey, that's not a ball in there, it's part of your penis, your pee pee. It's supposed to stay there because that's how that part of your body is made; that part of your privates is called your Testicles and they are very important to keep. (The whole time I was thinking 'I wish my husband were here to give this talk.') Jesse still stuck on 'But mommy there's a ball stuck in it! Are you going to help me get it OUT?!' I tried my best to explain to him what I could but than told him that if he wants to Daddy can talk with him about this later when he comes home, to which he quickly said 'Yes, I'll tell Dadddy to get the ball, he'll know how. You're a girl Mommy so you don't know!'
Anyway, I just had to share this, it was so funny and unexpected at the time. Well really, when is there a time someone expects their son to help them get the ball out of their nuts???
Once when our Hannah was 2 years old and we just brought little Jesse home from the NICU she said her own funny thing too. I was changing his diaper and she looked at his privates and said shocked as could be 'Mommy, baby Jesse has a VERY BIG Gina (Vagina)!'
Oh, the things kids say! So what's your funny story???? I'd love to hear!
