Boys and Girls

Last week or the week before I was commenting to Steve that Emma hasn't started asking about how boys and girls are different. This weekend all of that changed!

Steve usually gives Emma a bath at night and reads her stories. While they were going through this process Emma asked, "Do all boys have a penis?" Steve asked how she knew about that word (or something like that). Emma said that she asked what is was at preschool when she was looking at an art book. (They had been studying Michelangelo so Steve and I assumed she had been looking at "David".) Steve started to sweat balls while waiting for her to ask the next question. "Daddy, are you a boy?"  So it wasn't the worse case scenario, yes was the easy answer. And Steve was most grateful when she didn't ask him if he has a penis.

So the days are upon us when at some point I am sure Emma will want to know what parts Daddy and all other boys have and why us girls are different.
