Here is the quote of the year so far.
Let’s set the scene. One of my girls (I will omit names to preserve her dignity in 20 years when she reads this), was naked. Checkin’ herself out down there. All of a sudden she says, “my vulva looks funny, like a penis, only littler”! I almost peed myself laughing. Of course she laughed too, they both did. We all laughed again when I repeated the story to a friend.
She really meant her clitoris but vulva is close enough.
I have vague memories of a theory that a clitoris is an underdeveloped penis, I won’t share that theory with my girls though. It’s RIDIC (as Sara would say) – LOVE!
What would be an appropriate image to use here?
From the mouths of babes.
hahah – that is RIDIC! As is Nancy’s joke – which is killing me.
Erin: In relation to your previous post – about saying something meaningful about things that you read, people that you encounter, compliments that you give etc… There are two things that I love about this post, the first, thank you for taking the time to share a little glimmer into your life with your girls – especially when it makes others laugh out loud and run to the phone to call a girlfriend and share. Second, the fact that your four year old girl are using the PROPER terms for their anatomy. Makes me smile from ear to ear when I ‘meet’ other Mom’s who work hard to ensure that their daughters are armed with the proper terms to empower them as young girls and beyond (even if a vulva is confused with a clitoris… they’re clearly on the right track). Well done Mom!
haha, my little one had the same question, I told her its nothing to worry about…though, she did cry for a bit when her brother started to make fun of her, but a good conversation with both of them solved the issue. Kids are always curious and interested 😉

why is this reminding me of that spoof ad for the hybrid car- a cross between a Cleo and a Taurus and you guessed it is called a Cletaurus. It claims to be pink, obvious and yet burglar proof as even if you tell a man where it is – he will likely not find it.
anyway everyone everyone everyone but especially me should have matching four year olds – I can only imagine the humour and entertainment.
I am laughing so freaking hard right now… Hee!!
