Just Not at School

Seems that when my son decided to take a bath the other day, superheroes were on his mind. We started the conversation and it went something like this (be patient, it's worth is):

Tater: Mom, if someone shoots me in the belly button twice, you'll hear this sound (and some weird noise came out of his mouth) and an explosion comes out like this (picture hands starting at belly and going outward).

Mom: Only if you get shot twice?

Tater: **looking down** yep, but don't worry, if they cut off my pe-nis, it grows out really big and I can whack them with it... **demonstrates by taking both hands and 'whacking' a toy off the side of the tub** then it goes back to normal size.

Mom: **bou blink and trying not to laugh** oh...

Tater: Don't worry mom you can do it too...

Mom: Uhh. Nope, I'm a girl. I don't have a pe-nis.

Tater: Ohhh... just pretend. **looking down again** OHHHHH you can use your toes.

and the conversation continued with what noises would occur if the shot came to his left side or his back. It was very funny and he was very into this whole "What happens to a hero once he gets shot" thing. But I can tell you now that I wanted to laugh so hard and just couldn't do it because he was having so much fun talking to me.

When I told Mamaw about this, the first thing out of her mouth was what if he talks about this to his friends at school. I can see my first conference being with the Teacher and my son's super pe-nis. **snicker snicker** Ok, I snicker here, but I would be hard put on what to say or do if I get that call.
