The Anatomy Thing

Girls seem to inquire much sooner than boys. I don't remember the Boy even understaning he had anything down there until he realized it could shoot pee off the deck and on the fence. Fancy tricks, for sure. But the Girl not only notices the down parts, but the up parts, too. I was changing clothes a couple of months ago and she walked into my closet and asked why girls have pimples. Now, even though I'm 33, I'm still (ashamedly so) not rid completely of acne, but really, do I need my then 2-year old to point that out? When she lifted up her shirt to show me her "pimples" was when I finally comprehended her question in its entirety. (She told me that she has little pimples and Mommies have big pimples. Some do, but not this Mommy. Thanks anyway.)
I, for some stupid reason, feel it is my motherly duty to explain all things strange and confusing, and also embarrassing, to my kids. So to answer her question, I said that Mommies have to feed their babies. The look of repulsion on her face was immediate. "I not eat pimples," she said. Why do I even try?
Yesterday she told me that when she grows up she's going to grow a dinker and be a Dad. I kept my stupid mouth shut on that one. Hey, at least I'm learning.
