Note: I am editing the ** in the title ‘cos I seem to have attracted some undesirable ads as a (possible) result. Let’s see how things go now..
That was the famous words uttered by a preschooler, in the Schwarzenegger movie Kindergarten Cop; his first venture into comedy if I am not wrong.
But no, that’s not what Caitlin was trying to teach me in my case. In simpler words, she had already made that observation after watching us change her little brother.
What tickled me was that she made this observation (koo-koo-bird is the local generally used Chinese colloq for the **willy, in kids-speak):
Caleb is a boy; he has a koo-koo-bird. Girls (like me) don’t have a koo-koo-bird. Daddee’s a boy; you’ve got a koo-koo-bird; but yours is so much bigger…
Okay, maybe tickled is the wrong adjective. In normal times I would be manly proud that a girl said that about my ahem. But in this case, you cannot blame me for feeling super inadequate that it was my own daughter telling me this, and it was a comparison made with an INFANT willy.

I thought you had decided not to let her see you in your birthday suit anymore?
She will be making more and more ‘embarrasing’ observations!

Oh, we had a friend whose daughter, then 3, and who went up to almost all her male relatives and declared they are males so they have a penis.
The parents were sure embarrassed.
So far, at least my boys have not “gone public” and so saved us some embarrassment.

Yeah well, there have been times when she’s walked in on me, and I literally had nowhere to hide. She does know there are “differences” in our anatomy, and she actually peers for a better angled view!
But somehow, I think from school, she knows that there are differences in toilet-etiquette between boys and girls. I am not saying that anyone’s been indecently exposed, just that the segregation would have somehow meant something to her…
