Proper....or not so proper!

When Little Man was very small, The Husband and I agreed that when it came time to discuss the names of body parts, we would use the proper names.

So Little Man knows the difference between men having "manly chests" and women having "boobies" (I know, we could have gone with breasts but this seemed to work out fine).

WELL! Today we were cruising the racks in Target and suddenly...

Little Man: "You have boobies!"

Me: "Yes I do, shhhhh".

(Was always told not to make a big deal out of something they say or they would keep repeating it.)

Little Man: "L's Mom has boobies too!"

(Lady at the next rack snickering at the exchange at this point)

Me: (((sigh))) "Yes, all Mommies have boobies."

Little Man: "I have a manly chest!" "Like Daddy!"

Me: (((smiling at that one))) "Yes honey, you do have a manly chest like Daddy."

I thought we had finished the discussion about "boobies" but then we hit the lingerie department and Little Man points and says, "Booby backpacks!"

Needless to say, I made a bee-line for the checkout lines!

Ahhhh, the conversations we have to look forward to in the years to come. :)
