Celestrina wrote: Ben was peeing today, and asked what was below his penis, so I told him. Then he asked what girls have.
luvbug00 replied: ohh that's akward! what did you say?? **oops you wrote what you said** duhhh
mckayleesmom replied: Mckaylee asked that before....She found out boys have a penis AND testicles....so she wanted to know what extra parts she had...
I would just be honest with him and say that boys have a penis and girls have a totally different part called a vagina.
Kentuckychick replied: Lol... I would just say "Oh just WAIT until you find out hon... we women have so many FUN extra parts that make life just SO much more enjoyable! Say... have you ever heard of menstration?"
Lol
But no really I'd just go the honesty route too
Crystalina replied: Izabella and I just had this discussion last night!!! We were watching Diagnosis X and one of the stories was about a man who's testicles never fully developed. (btw, I didn't know that's where the story was going until it went there. ). So the doctor comes out with a testicle measuring device (beads) and that's when she asked. All I told her was that all that extra skin under Evan's "elephant nose" (that's his new name for it ) was what testicles were. Her face turned red and she said, "Oh", and that was the end of that. 
The female parts never came up.
A&A'smommy replied: wow fun conversation
Kirstenmumof3 replied: I would tell him the truth. We've done that with all three. They do ask at the strangest times don't they!

My dress is now covered in fanta!!!!
Celestrina replied: That's an understatement. We were at a public bathroom and naturally there were others within earshot.
Teesa®© replied: I had told our DS that a grrls "extra" parts are all inside her belly to protect them better because when grrls are MUCH older, they have babies.
DS had asked if Daddy had these weird things hanging down, too, and without even thinking , I said, "Yes, but his are much bigger." DS let out a dejected, "Oh," and I chuckled and told him that they'll get bigger once he's older and starts growing more.
my2monkeyboys replied: LMAO! Will used to ask when his would get big like daddy's, too... I just say, when you're older honey. He'll look dejected for a minute, then it's over. It's gotten to where I almost don't even bat an eye at those things anymore. Maybe that shows that Will is a little obsessed???
Calimama replied: Oh man. I can def. wait until those questions start coming.
mysweetpeasWil&Wes replied: I posted something similar once since Wil called what was below "shells". We use the correct terms in our house. They both know what girls have and what boys have. Wesley has been very interested in watching me undress lately, looking down there and pointing. I have told him what mommy has and he repeated "you have cha-china?!"
redchief replied: Ahh it does my heart good to see that everyone else is as uncomfortable with these little revelations as we were!
my2monkeyboys replied: Cha-china!!! LMAO!!!! That is hilarious!!!
boyohboyohboy replied: we have always used the correct terms also. it used to drive my mom nuts to hear my 2yr old son talk about his penis! I just thought it was important to use the correct terms. also I think if they are old enough to ask then they are old enough to get the truth about those things.
