Where is that rock???

I am looking for the biggest rock to hide my head under; it needs to be big so I can effectively hide the scarlet shade of my cheeks.

Sam has become an inquisitive two year old, and as most 2 year olds do, he asks lots of questions. Just yesterday we were enjoying a nice afternoon shopping session at a local children’s store. Not that I was getting any shopping done, you would think I would know better than to go shopping at 12pm when there has been no nap and no lunch, I would blame it on the kids but really...stupid stupid idea. Anyhow, there we were, for better or for worse. A new customer came into the store and my wee Sam comes over and quite honestly asks “that a man or a woman mommy?” This was one of the first times I wasn’t quite sure of my answer so I very quietly told him (hoping I was right) that the shopper was a man. Well, I probably should have whisked my toddler out of the store at that moment knowing there would be more questions to come. Like many toddlers Sam is into classifying just about anything into two categories: those with penises and those with gynas. So I might have known what his next question would be, “that man have a gyna mommy?”. Now the sales lady is cowering behind the register gleefully awaiting my response. “No Sam, you know men have penises and woman have VAginas” I quietly said. I thought I had gotten away with it, my son was quiet and seemed mercifully engaged with some toy horse, then he turned his little body around, put both hands on his hips and rather loudly exclaimed “Why that man have a penis AND BOOBIES?” Honest to god, let the Earth crack and swallow me now. I am sure all of you mothers out there are reliving my horror. To this I had no answer, the sales lady I am quite sure needed a new pair of undies as she was trying hard not to breakout giggling, she wouldn’t even make eye contact as I whisked my ever enquiring boy out the door. I don’t know if the man with the penis and big boobies bought anything, but I hope if he did the sales lady gave him a discount.
