Last week Mama was bathing 3B while I was in New York and had this dialogue with him:
3B: I have the chinas.
Mama: You have what?
3B: I have the chinas.
Mama: [connecting the dots] ...Oh. No, sweetie, you have a penis.
3B: Nooo. I have the chinas.
Mama: You have a penis. Boys and men have penises. Girls and women have vaginas.
3B: [agitated, starting to cry] Nooooo! I have the chinas! I have the chinas!
Mama: OK, sweetie. You have the chinas.
3B: [returns to playing in the bath]

That about sorts Freud, I think...
ReplyDeleteWhether it's the chinas or cojones, just keep 'em in your chones.
ReplyDeleteURD: Sometimes the chinas are just the chinas.
ReplyDeleteMrJ: You know it, man.
When he is a little older and no longer wears that diaper, he will be glad to have male plumbing in the great out of doors.
ReplyDelete...ahhh, he's what? 2 years old?
ReplyDelete...and already requesting the "chinas."
Slow down, partner!
Way to go Mama. If you can't beat them, join them. When baby 2B comes along, he might think otherwise. I know my #1 wanted me to look at #2 because he was arguing that she was a girl. I had to lean over and look at NOTHING. "See mom, she is a girl"
ReplyDeleteI am glad that 3B has the chinas. and may he stay 2 forever... just like my #2.
That is just awesome, particularly Mama's mad translating skills.
ReplyDeleteNow, I remember learning in college that Freud was wrong, because feminists have deconstructed his views to show that the boy has a hard time separating from his mother unlike....ah, forget it, 3B's too little for all that jazz. Chinas for everyone!
CAGirl: Especially when he's atop something tall.
ReplyDeleteL-P: Are you kidding? Slow is not a speed we have around here. Life is lived at full tilt.
KMoo and Amama: Yes, chinas all around.
