Our Kids

The girls wanted me to explain why and how the doctor could tell they were girls in my tummy from the ultrasound and how did they know Phoebe was a girl. So I was explaining it to them how it took a lot of practice and study for the technician to learn how to tell the difference. Well that was not good enough.

So I asked them if they looked the same naked as Daddy did. They laughed and said NO. Then Lela told me that daddy’s vagina was different from theirs and then went on to say how funny daddy’s vagina looked. HA HA! I decided not to tell them that it was not called a vagina since they seemed to be happy with the answers they got.

We have decided to tell the girls what things are when they ask and not to nickname body parts or trivialize the differences between men and women. We also are teaching them that those are things we talk about in private and not at school. We will see how it goes.
