I was getting ready to take a shower (read: without attire) and Kole walks into the bathroom. I was surprised for two reasons. 1. He was supposed to be with Ken. Where was Ken? 2. It's always surprising when a little person sneaks up on you. Midget or toddler... same surprise level.
I said, "Go find Dad. Mom is going to take a shower now."
Kole: Are you taking a shower, Mom?
Me: Yup. Go get Daddy and build a train track.
Kole: Moooom! I can see your big boobies.
I blushed and grabbed a towel.
Why are you looking? Why do you call them boobies? They're not big. That's gross.
Me: Well... I am going to take a shower so... yup... I'm not dressed right now. Go get Dad, okay? Ken?! KEN?!
Kole: There's your big stinky Mom Butt!
Me: (*Sigh.* Self esteem just went from zero to negative ten.) That's not nice to say. Go find Dad. (Kole doesn't know what an actual Mom Butt is. But I do. And that was a mean jab.)
I start to usher Kole towards the door. Where's Ken?
Kole: Mom. You don't have a wiener.
Me: Nope. KEN!
Kole: Oh. That's sad.
Me: It's not sad. It's just different. Boys and girls are different.
Kole: What happened to your wiener?
Me: I don't have one.
Kole: Because you lost it?
I was so not ready to talk about all this. He's two!
Me: KEN!!
All day I kept thinking:
1. Well! Can't take showers while Kole is awake. He's only 2. But I was embarrassed all of the sudden.
2. Do I have to talk about girls and boys and private things now?
3. Doesn't the dad have that talk when it's a boy?
4. When do you draw the line? Now?
5. Does anyone else have kids that walk in on them?
Am I over thinking this? Is it different if you're a mom and your little daughter comes in?
