Well, just as promised, more language mayhem on the preschooler front. This morning when J asked who was going to take him to school today, I said that I was. Normally P takes him, but I explained to him that daddy has to go to the doctor for a checkup.
J: "Is daddy sick?"
Me: "No, daddy's just going so the doctor can look at him and see if he is healthy."
J: "The doctor is going to look at his butt?"
Me: "No, he's not going to look at daddy's butt. The doctor going to take some blood to look at it."
J: "Daddy's bleeding?"
Me: "No, they're just going to take a small amount to look at."
J: "Oh, OK."
I subscribe to the belief that children should be told the truth as much as possible, but, as is evident from this conversation, sometimes less is more. I still have no idea where he got the notion of the doctor looking at daddy's butt since we've never discussed proctology before, but who knows what J talks about with his friends at school.....
