I just took my daughter to get her hair cut. We go to this great place called 'Kuts 4 Kids'. She sat up on the rocking horse to get her hair done. All of a sudden she states, loudly and clear as a bell, "Penis!" - just out of the blue. Like it's okay to just shout out private body parts in public. I just stared at her in shock. She has never done that before. The hairstylist and I were chatting, so I don't know if she was trying to get our attention, or what. It's moments like these when the fact she has two older brothers is really obvious. Anyway, as I was still staring at her open mouthed, and the hairstylist was trying not to laugh too hard, I guess my daughter could tell by the look on my face that she was about to get into trouble. She thought quickly and said hastily, "That's a bad word and we don't say it, right, Mommy?" Good one, honey. A little late, but...good. I mean, it's not a bad word, but it's a private word. Okay? Private! Kids...

laughed out loud. one thing about parenthood that i never expected--abject humiliation on an ongoing basis. learning to laugh at the craziness is a good thing.
