Spelling Lessons

I just have to report this delightful conversation I had with my 4-almost-5-year-old daughter recently. She had just gone shopping with her daddy for a new toy horse. She really wanted a “girl horse”, so she systematically looked underneath each toy horse to find one with the correct anatomy. Alas, they were all stallions, so she had to “settle” for a boy horse.

And then…a few seconds after finishing her story, she asked this question:

“Mommy, did you know that [male anatomy] starts with a P? Puh…puh…[male anatomy].”

Thanks for the spelling lesson, Sweetie! (and the laughs)
