Quote From: jedi500My son had a surprising reaction also. While changing my 3 month old son (now 3 1/2) my mom was changing my 3 month niece. The babies were head to head on her bed. My oldest, then 6 y.o. (step) son looked back and forth between the two. Got this real worried look on his face, leaned real close to me, and whispered "Mama Jen, Mama Jen! SHE'S MISSING SOMETHING!!!" While trying not to laugh I explained the difference between boys and girls. He happily went off to play with his other male cousins while I sat on the floor and laughed so hard I cried. He's nine now and thinks it's hysterical when I tell him this story.
My son did the same thing not long after our daughter was born. He crawled up on the bed while I was changing Kimberly and he leaned in really close with a puzzled look on his face. Finally he asked in his innocent yet serious voice "mommy why does she have two bums??" And I replied that girls don't have a penis like boys do and left it at that. Or another story. You know that when you have kids even going to the bathroom by yourself is now a treat. My son explained to me that I do not need to wipe my bum when I go pee. He will be four in July and I think he now understands the difference between boys and girls.
