As a part of the process of potty training, Tom and I always tell the boys that we are proud that they can keep their pants clean. (Sometimes I go too far -- for example, telling Xander that Nemo really doesn't care to be peed on...) Anyway, the other day while I was using the restroom, my two year old came in. After observing me solemnly for several seconds, he asked 'Are your pants clean?' I said 'Yes. Thank you.' He nodded and said 'I am very proud of you for keeping your pants clean, mommy. Good job.' I choked.
Xander is very concerned about peeing -- he is utterly puzzled as to how girls can possibly pee without the 'proper' equipment. Now he is investigating all creatures. Yesterday he asked 'Do cucumbers have peens?' (Larry Boy is a big fellow in our house). My very favorite, though, came after a walk on a nearby trail. I had made the serious mistake of pointing out the slugs and snails on the trail. Xander had to stop and look at every single one and Jason decided he wanted to be carried because he didn't want to squish any of them... Well, when we got home, Xander, who had obviously been thinking about it for quite a while, asked 'Do earthworms have peens?'
