Conversation at "Big" B's House

H: Mom, Does Jacob have a penis and a vagina?
Mel: He's a boy. He has a penis.
H: You're a girl right?
Mel: Yes, I'm a girl.
H: You have a vagina right?
Mel: Yes, I have a vagina.
H: Is Betsy a girl?
Mel: Yes.
(At this point I was waiting for the seemingly inevitable question, but she switched gears.)
H: (pointing to T) Does he have a penis?

At this point my entire body is shaking and there are tears running down my face. I can't answer H. All I can do is run out of the room.

Later at home...

H is on the potty. She looks down and says: I have a vagina.
Mel: Yes you do. But we should only talk about penises and vaginas in private, at home with Mommy and Daddy.
H: I don't need privacy right now.
Mel: That's okay. But we only talk about penises and vaginas at home. We don't talk about them at other people's houses or at stores.
H: Just Auntie Elaine's right?
Mel: Not at Auntie Elaine's, just at home.
H: okay

I'm doomed!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :o)
