My Kids Are Awkward

Today my five-year-old handed me his yogurt to open and asked, “Would you like to do the honors?”

I texted my husband regarding his child’s absurdity and he was quick to remind me about this running list we have going about all of the funny things that our kids often say.

I opened up the page in my notes and read the last entry which was dated from last year. The quoted text was between my then four-year-old son and my dad, also known as Grandpa Dick. (Make you sure that you double check with Alannis, but I’m pretty sure that his name is more ironic after this conversation…)

It went like this:

4-year-old: Do you have a pee-pee?
Grandpa Dick: No.
4-year-old: Oh so you have a vagina?
Grandpa Dick: Uh well, no. I thought you asked if I had a teepee.
4-year-old: So do you have a vagina?
Grandpa Dick: (Laughs) Well, no.
4-year-old: Does your pee-pee look like mine? Mine has a bunch of cracks. Does yours look like my dad’s? His is pretty straight and has a thing on the end.
Grandpa Dick: Well I’ve never seen your dad’s but I’m sure they look pretty similar.

Awwww. Thanks, Dad. I needed that laugh today.
