If you are a frequent reader of my blog, surely you’ll remember this post. The one in which Jayce’s menis was getting on his nerves.
Don’t you hate that?
Yeah. Me too.
So today, Jayce and I took my mom (who is here visiting) to our favorite burger joint for lunch. (And I hate to be parenthesis heavy, but I know someone is bound to ask. So…I can do either a veggie burger or turkey burger. No dead cow for me).
Anyway.
So my mom gets up to use the ladies room (the one with the peeping paparazzi). And while she’s gone Jayce asks where Grandma went.
And I tell him that she went to the bathroom.
To which he very matter-of-factly responds, “Oh. Cuz’ her menis.”
If he were my first baby I probably would have taken the opportunity to correct him. I might have used the opportunity to educate him on the differences between boys and girls. Maybe I’d have reminded him that girls don’t have menises.
But I didn’t.
Because it was too cute.
So I just nodded. And smiled. “Yep. Cuz’ her menis.”
Poor Jeff. When it comes time for that birds and bees talk, he’s gonna have lots of explaining to do.

Oh yes, poor Jeff… Believe me, I feel for him already.
Hey, he’s a boy. Menises aren’t your gig, so it’s definitely Jeff’s job to clear up that misconception. Just make sure to blog that conversation when it occurs.
Too funny! That so reminds me of this post of mine to which I did correct Max, but that just made the situation escalate…

Look at you and your new digs! Lovin’ it. (Please don’t tell me you updated the design last year….. it hasn’t been THAT long since I commented has it? I mean, I READ everything in my reader.)
Anyway. I had something to say.
My Stink nursed until he was 2 1/2. (Go ahead. Say it. Just be ready to duck.)
Anyway. I STILL have something to say. He called my boobs ‘murses”. Like “nurses” with an M. Well one day we were waiting for a babysitter to arrive and he asked me this question:
“Mama, does Anna have murses?”
“Yes, Stink, but NOT FOR YOU!”
Boys. They’re so yummy!
I would have done the same thing I think. It is so funny to think of all the things I have passed on to let Hubby deal with. Poor kids…lol
I would leave that one up to daddy, too!
Little J is so cute…Just so stinkin’ cute.
Good for you. In a restaurant with Grandma returning to the table soon. Much easier to respond with an affirmative menis comment rather than get into a discussion of new territory. Like this one:

very cute. I read the first post to my husband and he said “see- that’s why you aren’t in charge if we have a boy” ;-)
