Ryanism

Anatomy Lesson
Tonight as we were finishing dinner, I looked at the boys, who tend to get more food on them than in them, and declared they were both headed straight to the bathtub.  Ryan protested that he wanted a shower instead.  I informed him that he'd have to have a bath tonight since Daddy wasn't home.  When he questioned why he couldn't shower with me, I cautiously explained that little boys shouldn't shower with their Mommies because boys and girls have different private parts and little boys shouldn't see their Mommies undressed.  Confused, Ryan said, "but we both have knuckles, Mommy.  Yours are just a little bigger."  My first thought was what in the world has Mike been teaching this boy?!?!  Almost afraid to hear his answer, I asked him to clarify what he meant by knuckles.  He then lifted his shirt, pointed to his chest and said, "See Mom, knuckles."  I could not contain my laughter after that.  Gavin didn't understand what was going on, but laughed because I was laughing so hard.  Ryan was confused and embarrassed and chastised me for laughing at him.  Every time I tried to correct him that those were "nipples" not "knuckles" I started to laugh all over again.  Whew, based on this experience, I can only imagine how *the talk* will go with him in a few years!
