Learning the Body Parts

Oooooohhhhhhhhhhhhhh! NOW I get it!

In the case of an adorable little eight-year-old buddy of mine, one such moment, in the subject of biology, actually arose from a misunderstanding on his part. We don't know what he thought a testicle really was, but we are sure that he had been a little mixed up before this conversation....

Family riding in car....

BUDDY: But Mom! There is only one. I only have one testicle.

MOM: (thinking, "How did we get on this subject?!?!") No, Bud, all boys have two testicles.

BUDDY: Nope. There's only one. I. only. have. one!!!

MOM: (exasperatedly turns to husband, who is driving) "Dad," please tell your son he has two testicles, that all boys have two testicles.

DAD: (driving, looking at son through rear view mirror) Son, you have two testicles. All boys have two testicles.

BUDDY: But Dad! Really! I promise! There's only one!

DAD: (deep sigh--how and whether to try to explain this) Son, there's a sack. Boys have two testicles in a sack.

Contemplative silence....

BUDDY: Oooooooooohhhhhhh! You mean that wrinkly thing with the beans in it?

Dad manages to keep car from going off road....

I know I tweeted that my next blog post would be about my husband, "The Great Pontificator." I am still working on that one -- but in the mean time, this one just had to be shared....
