Boy Child: Mom? Do you know Michelangelo?
Me: The artist or the Ninja Turtle?
BC: What?
Me: Never mind.
BC: But do you know him?
Me: Not personally, but yes. I know him.
BC: You know his famous statue called "David?"
Me: Yes.
BC: Do you know that he created that statue and you can TOTALLY SEE DAVID'S WING-DANG-DOODLE?
Me: Yes, I know that.
BC, thinking hard: So...that's okay? He probably didn't even have to have anyone pose, right? He could just draw it from memory since he's seen his own wing-dang-doodle. And that's okay. Isn't that okay mom?
Me: Well, sure. It's fine. The body is nothing to be ashamed of.
BC, eyes wide: Really?
Me: Really.
Before I could say another word, he raced off to his room. He was quiet for several minutes before it dawned on me.
Me, shouting: BOY CHILD! DO NOT DRAW ANY PICTURES OF YOUR OWN PENIS.
Girl Child, poking her head slightly out of her room: I don't even want to know what's going on here.
This is my life.
Try not to be jealous.

HAAAAAAAAAA! I love your children, even if they do make me think about wing dang doodles at 7 AM.
PS Just to blow Boychild's mind, you should play him the old blues song called Wang Dang Doodle. I don't think it's about penises, but it's hard to know for certain.
OMG - seriously LMAO right now!!!
LOL Boy Child always cracks me up!!!
I heart him so bad!!!
LOVE it!
I am laughing so hardddd. That is something my son would have done! May still do, so I won't mention this post too him. I am right there with ya!
Oh wow. I have five sons. I know how it is.
There's a centuries-old reproduction of this statue at a museum where I live. It's quite impressive... maybe 8 feet tall, situated in a rotunda under special lighting.
You ever come visit me, we'll take Boy AND Girl Child to the museum. There's a lot of cool stuff there. love, Val
I. LOVE. your. life. so bad! :) Seriously, you are awesome.
Seriously, girl. If you lived anywhere near me, Boy Child and Girl Child would be babysitting my kids. For however much they wanted. Because I want their awesomeness to rub off on my three crazies.
Haha I will try my hardest ;)
And also, if your still thinking about moving to Canada, get BC and GC to watch this. Some pretty funny stuff =)

I think all boys have a fascination with Wang Doodles(Can't figure out if capitalisation is required - maybe yes for David, but not so much for small boys). I have three sons and they all went through stages like this. Funny post. Loved it.
