This is today's comic, which represents an authentic conversation between my son and I. There really should be some kind of licensing requirement for procreation. ~
Excerpt from tonight's conversation with my son:
Mini-Bash: (coloring in a coloring book) What happened to mommy's penis?Nope, not looking forward to the where-do-babies-come-from conversation in the least. NOT IN THE LEAST.
Me: Huh?!
Mini-Bash: What happened to mommy's penis?
Me: Mommy doesn't have a penis. She's a girl. Girls don't have them.
Mini-Bash: Did it fall off?
Me: She never had one.
Mini-Bash: Did it fall off because she didn't take good care of it?

I was gonna call this post "The One About Penis Envy", but instead I went with my better judgment. I just find it funny how fascinated we are, as little boys, at our own reproductive organs. I guess even at that age, we're constantly trying to categorize things to make them more identifiable. And back then, girls and boys were just about the most different things I can think of.. come to think of it, that's still kinda true now.
