As you may know, we are working on potty-training. Lord, give me strength. Anyway, part and parcel with potty-training is learning body parts...and the inherent differences between boys and girls. While I had taught the kid the tagalog words for body parts, including female and male genitalia, the tagalog words for penis and vagina are strikingly similar. So, I have, of late, taught him the words in english.
Tonight as the kid was yammering on about this thing and that (remember, age two = verbal explosion), he turns to me and says, "Mommy - a vagina! (the kid) - a penis! Daddy - a penis!" Well, he got it all correct, so I acknowledge and congratulate with a hearty, "Yes, honey! That's right! Very GOOD!" Then he pauses for a minute and looks up at me in almost a half-whisper, "Mommy, Daddy's is a BIG penis."
I was rolling my eyes so hard they almost got stuck backwards in their sockets. M needs reinforcement from a 2-year-old, apparently.
