Tater started at 6:30am... "Mom where does Pee come out of your body?". Not thinking clearly, I answer him... "Your pe-nis". Normally I would have made him answer it and that usually stops these conversations..
He whips down his underwear, pulls out his pe-nis and says "You mean that little hole there?". Uhhh... "Yes son". "Where does it come from in your body?"... Tater just isn't going to drop this conversation...
I go through the ropes... You eat and drink, your body takes what it needs and any liquids left get sent to your bladder. When your bladder is full, it sends a signal to your brain telling you to go Pee.
I can see it coming... so I stop him in mid-stream. "Let's go to the computer and see if we can find a picture of your bladder." Phew. After finding some pictures... repeating what was said before... he got distracted.
I just knew that he was going to ask where did poop come from next. And I just didn't want him showing me his butt that early in the morning.

Posted by: wRitErsbLock at July 2, 2006 05:47 PMConnor asked me this question about a week ago. Unfortunatley for me... he did ask about the poop first. He says " mommy where does poop come from" I tell him everything he eats gets broken up in his stomache, all the good nutrients go to places in your body that you need them" He says " like your bones and your eyes?" Yes I say. " Ohhhh he continues.... so then all the heavy stuff just falls right out as poop? " um.... okay? sure.
