Boy: Mommmmeeeeeeeeee, mommmmeeeeeeeee…

Me: Yes, sweetie?

Boy: I want to watch Thomas, puhleeeeze?

Me: We watch TV at 5pm Love, it’s only 9am.

Boy: Know what?  I have a penis.

Me: You are absolutely right Buddy.

Boy: You don’t.  You have j-eye-na.

Me: (Pretending not to listen and busying myself like crazy) Mmmhhmmmmm…

Boy:  So does she (pointing to his sister).  She has a j-eye-na too.

Me: (still wishing conversation was over) Mmmmmmhmmmmm.

Boy: Want a stand up pee pee with me, Mummy?

Me: Oh, no thanks Buddy.

Boy: Why? Cuz you have a j-eye-na?  Come Mummy, try a stand up pee pee like me.

Me: Mmmmmhhmmmm… (refolding the same towel for the third time).

Boy: Come on (pushing his sister towards the throne) Come and have a stand up pee pee with your j-eye-na.  It’s fun.

Me: Oh sweetie, she doesn’t have stand up pee pees.  Girls do sit down peepees.

Boy: Hmmm. Can I watch Thomas?

And on with the day we go. These conversations never cease to amaze me.

What funny conversations do you have with your miniatures?
