My cellphone rang at work today. That only happens on rare occasions. And, at work, it usually means one thing: daycare’s a callin’. And that, in itself, usually means one thing: Devin’s sick. Or hurt. (Well, OK, that’s two.)
How lovely to discover that neither of the above was true.
But how hilarious to discover the reason for the call.
The little guy’s been, um, fondling himself a bit these days. Now, before you go chastising me for speaking of such unspeakable subjects…CHILL! Kids do these things. Parents everywhere know this. And I’m sure a great many of them speak of it from time to time since it can be an amusing subject.
However, the amusement level is upped a notch when you consider I was having this conversation in one of those typical cubicle environments.
And although nearly every child goes through this stage, my daycare teacher was a bit concerned about how roughly Dev’s been exploring. So imagine me assuring her that, yes, we’d noticed that it was a bit red down there. And, yes, we’d been trying to gently advise him that maybe it’s not a good idea to yank on it so roughly. And, definitely, we’d been applying cream in that area.
I just have to wonder how that sounded to the very quiet IT guy who sits next to me.
Hahahahaha! I’ve heard stories like this from friends who are parents. Sigh. It’s amazing how young the fascination starts : )
Yep, we have a hard time getting H. not to grab it whilst I am changing his poopie diapers yiiiick!
