Two nights ago we gave Will a bath and wrapped him in his towel afterward. He was laying on the bed in his towel and we were talking like we always do. He was looking up at the ceiling fan and asked me what that little ball was. I looked up to see what little ball he was talking about, but didn't see anything so I asked "What little ball, honey?" Will said "this little ball right here", at which point I realized he was talking about something in his hand. So I opened his towel and found that he had hold of his own "little balls"!!
So calmly I followed all the advise in the parenting books and gave him the proper name of that body part... "Those are your testicles, honey." Hilarious crisis averted.... I thought. Then he promptly asks "What are they for Mommy?" Unfortunately, parenting books haven't provided an age-appropriate description of the function of testicles. But not to worry... Daddy stepped in to solve the problem and advised Will that your testicles are there to keep your peepee from floating away!!!
Needing to correct Daddy's explanation, (which would certainly result in unfounded fears that his peepee could randomly float away), but lacking a better explanation myself, I told him that his testicles were there for his peepee to lay on!!!
