Tess Tickle
and
Ima Ball
Being the mother of a boy is quite the adventure. Last week I was changing Bowen's diaper and he was playing with himself just like he always does when a questioning look washed over his little face. And the conversation went a little like this:
Mommy, what's that? (poking at his scrotum)
Me: ----? (Ok brain, how do I answer this question? Do I go with the anatomically correct term? Hmmm.... DO I say balls? No, not balls that would be really confusing to a ball-loving two year old. Do I say nads, huevos, jewels, sac, scrot, WHAT?)
Bowen: Mommy, what's that? (still poking) Is it poop?
Me: No, it's not poop.
Bowen: Mommy, what's that?
Me: It's your testicles.
Bowen: Tecticle?
Me: Yes. Or you can call them balls.
So, what would you, or do you, call them in your family?

Hmmmm... I didn't have a boy so I don't know. When Robin asked (about age 3) I told her it was her vagina. My mother was horrified when Robin asked her if she had a "bagina".
Oh.My.Word. That has to be one of the funnier Williams stories. It sounds like you handled it well. I'll have to remember that for any future sons we may have. That's a classic.
OMG! I think I would have screamed "Jonnnnaaaattttthhaaaannnnnnnnn!!!!!!"....and let him answer that question! I don't know what i would have said! Were still in the stage that it's her te-te!
We still dont talk about it. The only thing that we talk about is the teetee monster and he doesnt really care for it. He wishes he could be like mommy.
