I was keeping a journal for my kids, starting when I was pregnant with Audrina. Life got in the way.

Simm's Anatomy
Last night I was at work when I got a text from Harley. Audrina asked if he poops from where he pees. I had done a few little Q&As in how boys are different from girls, but apparently that particular conversation needs to have a full lesson plan. So now we have entered the age of fascination with physical differences. This week she has asked men about their penises, the neighbor about why she is black, and one woman if she was "a boy or a girl." She also told the neighbor girl that she "should go to her room to do that because it is not polite" when she saw Elizabeth (who is two) playing with her lady bits. I think I may require a script for the many directions this particular life lesson could take, primarily to avoid more awkward situations. Finally, my ability to overwhelm another human being with too much information has a useful purpose. I just know I am going to have an issue with her playing doctor.
