Explicit Knowledge
My son: “Daddy, sometimes does your penis get stiff and tall and then go back down?”
Bill: “Um, yes. Yes, sometimes my penis does that.”
My son: “Did you know I can make mine do that on purpose?”
Bill: “Really?”
My son: “Yep. It’s easy. You just hump a pillow. [Brother's name deleted] told me that. You should try it.”
Bill: “Thanks for the info.”
My son: “Goodnight!”
This exchange shouldn’t have shocked me. I’ve long known that I am the lone female surrounded by guys, and I’ve shared that fact with you.
You’ve seen the battles against cooties, the boys’ success in turning a social faux pas into a delightful game, the heinous tricks they play on an unsuspecting mother at night, the science experiments they dream up.
But still, this was on a different level altogether.
My Tiny Kingdom: jam-packed with helpful information.

Wow, guys, thanks for the help. Poor Bill never knew what he was missing, apparently.

My two year old is potty training and has discovered himself.
He pulls on it and says “Bigger! Bigger!”
He tells me he wants to play with his “wing ding”.
Men are men. Age has nothing to do with it.

Wow. How funny! But, I hope I have girls!
(just kidding.)

Too funny….
At one point I had a testosterone filled home with two sons (and, at one time, a husband….or “wusband” as I like to call him now) but interestingly that particular conversation never came up (no pun intended) that I know of….
Maybe I just wasn’t privy to it…. : 0

Ha ha ha!!! Wow, you know, it is good that boys can talk about this stuff.

It’s moments like those I’m glad I’m not a single parent. My 10 year-old is amazed by what his body can do. Ewwww.

LMAO!
Humping a pillow and then talking about it. THis is what I have to look forward to…

OMG,that’s scary, really scary. Just to know I will be dealing with that right around the corner.

Too funny. My son is always wanting to know why it tickles. I tell him to ask daddy.

Gracious! I feel for you. I would say that I am glad to have a daughter, but that’s no guarantee that we won’t ever have a conversation like this. (I can hope, though!)
Good luck with puberty. Make sure to send me your mailing address so that I can FedEx you a fishbowl full of margarita mix.

It’s so nice that your boys feel that they can share everything with you and your husband, but perhaps this falls under the “TMI” category.
My three year old son is already asking/worrying about the size of his penis. Can’t wait for the pillow-humping conversation.

As crazy as my daughter is, I’m not really sure I would know how to handle a son either.
You are a saint, woman.

I think I’m going to stop reading field guide to males. Just knowing what’s coming — times FOUR — is more than I can handle without a hefty prescription of happy pills.

This is so funny! Thanks for that.
Not sure reading all these ‘mummy’-sites is the right thing to do when you’re pondering having kids (or not).

I’m laughing hysterically, but not sure if it’s because this post is so funny or the maniacal guffaws of a mom-of-2-toddler-boys terrified out of her wits…
Thanks a heap.

This made me laugh out loud! I have three boys. I say that my innocence of boys was stripped years ago. Mu middle one (3 years) just recently told me how his gets hard. They don’t miss a thing to they?

Hilarious! Oh my god, I think I may have cracked a rib.
