For the past several weeks, the Kindergartener’s teacher has introduced a new letter of the alphabet to the class. Friday’s letter was P. P as in pickle, pie, pear, pomegranate. The kids are then asked to draw something that begins with the letter P. Here was the Kindergartener’s contribution:
Me: (uncomfortable throat clearing followed by raspy wheezing) …
Him: See, Mommy? It’s a pan.
Oh. Pan. Phew.




Yey, innocence! Boo, filthy minds!
(OK, so I saw what you saw, so sue me!)

Hee! Hee, hee, hee! My boys (3.5 years) have just reached the stage where they realized bodily functions and private parts are hilarious.
And so do I, so it all works out! I almost wish it wasn't a pan, that would be such a funny, funny story!

For a second there I thought he'd seen the pot pie over at Voodoo Lily!

Either way (pan or 'other'), he takes after his mother. :o)

That pan's got elephantitis of the handle!

Nosheteria: A better diagnosis there has never been! (By the way, I can't wait to read your book.)
April in CT: There are quite a few similarities between us, though neither one of us inherited a black penis!
Jess: I saw that! Chicken "pan" pie. She so crazy.
WhataCard: I think we have many years of legitimate penis drawings ahead of us. Luckily, I stink at drawing.
Katie: Yeah.
Erin: If we're talking about the same thing, I think that's actually the pan handle. Like the Oklahoma Panhandle, but more penis-shaped.
Melissa: Uh-huh.
NurseJen: I think I'm aging backwards. I never found any of this stuff funny as a kid. But, yes, I love the innocence.

That is fantastic - thanks for the laugh.
The other night my 4Y0 excitedly yelled to me something that sounded like him describing his bath toy as being well-endowed. When I nervously asked him to repeat what he'd said, I realized that what he'd said was that the toy had a "big dip" (as in, into the water).
Phew, indeed.
