The sister factor

Last week at S's house two year-old J changed into his swim trunks at the pool several times. The first few times Katherine ran to her sister and they whispered to each other and erupted into hilarious giggling. One time Caroline wasn't available for conspiratorial giggles and comments. Katherine ran to me. This is the conversation that followed:

"Mommy!" (giggles, giggles) "I saw J's p---s!" (more giggles)

"Okay."

"It's yucky."

"It's not yucky. It's part of J's body."

"It's funny looking."

"I understand it's different from you, but it's not funny. All boys have one."

Serious contemplation from Katherine.

"So I guess you really like Daddy's p---s then."

Conversation over.
