So that's what that's called!

I've been away from blogging for a while. That's because I've been very busy having conversations like this:

Grace: I saw some rabbit tracks in the snow today, mom!

Me: You did? Cool!

Grace: Mom? How can you tell if an animal is a boy or a girl?

Me: Well.... um... you look under their body and see if they have a penis or not.

Grace: What's a penis?

(Does she not know this? Should I be glad she doesn't know this? How the hoo-ha will I explain?)

Me: What's a penis?

(I'm trying to buy some time.)

Grace: Yeah.

Me: Well, um.... okay, a penis is what boys have to get their tinkle out. You know, girls have a... vagina... and boys have a penis.

Grace: They do?

Me: Yes.

Grace: All boys?

Me: Yep, rabbits, dogs... boy people.

Grace: Okay.

Sometimes they just catch you off guard, you know?
