This little doozy happened to me last week.
Last Monday was a glorious day, the son was shining and it was about 18 degrees. Unlike most days I decided to just relax at home with my kids. No shopping, no playgroup, no car trips. By late morning we were all growing tired of being in the house so out for a long walk we went.
I strapped the kids into the double stroller, filled it full of toys for Shi and snacks and drinks for Sam, off we went.
Our walk took us downtown to see the water and eventually to one of my fav local stores, The Cheeky Monkey. My son loves this store for its kids play section st the back, I love it for the adorable clothes....(in essence we WERE shopping and play grouping it....so much for the day off). Anyhow, in walks a rather LARGE man, wearing a t-shirt and shorts. The t-shirt must have been last years model and he must have gained a few pounds over the winter. My Sam sees him walk in and says, "Mommy, that man a boy or a girl?"
Ok, embarrassing but there are worse things (which I was about to discover). I quietly said, "Sam, that is a man, a grown up boy". To which Sam replied, LOUDLY
"That man have a penis or a gyna?"
Fair enough, after all he is two. Everything in Sam's world needs to be classified as having either a penis or a vagina. So again, like a good mom I explained to my small son that he should know by now that Men have penis's and woman have vagina. My face was red, but not nearly as red as it was about to become.
I thought I had diverted his attention back to the toys, when suddenly my beautiful 2 year old stood back up, put his little hands on his hip, cocked his head to one side and announced to the store,
"Mommy, why that man have a penis AND big boobies?"
Open up earth and swallow me now. We left the store, I am not sure we will be going back.

Best story ever.
Kids are awesome at embarassing us. Mine yelled "JESUS CHRIST!" in the grocery store one day because we couldn't get through the very crowded aisle. Every face turned at looked at me, some with smiles, some not so much.
