Everything is a Penis

It is starting to dawn on me the situation I am in.

So surprising was the discovery at my 20-week ultrasound when I was pregnant with Emil that he was a boy. I was thrilled, but shocked. And that sank in, the thought of having a really male-dominated household, and I embraced it. It is quite fun, really. But, as with anything, there are drawbacks. With the newly potty-trained Oliver, plus Milo, plus Andrew using the toilets… well, there’s a lot of piss. Everywhere. And just imagine when Emil joins the crew! Andrew suggested that we install a urinal in the downstairs bathroom because, you know, it makes sense. Yeah, except when anyone in the house has to take a crap.

And then there’s this. Anything, and everything, becomes a penis.

Andrew and Milo had stayed up later than usual building structures in the living room. Only, Andrew missed Milo’s last creation until the next morning. When he stumbled downstairs, half asleep the next morning, this character was standing at attention (literally) to greet him:DSC_0059

Have an uplifting weekend!

  1. How awesome is that? And thank goodness you’re there for them to teach them about lipstick and heels and girly stuff. It’s times like this that make me so glad we have three girl dogs. I have them at least.

  2. Hilarious! Before Audrey was born, I used to say that our house was a total sausage fest. (Because I’m classy like that.)

    I feel that my love for wang-themed jokes will never get old. We were having dinner with some good friends recently, and one of them said something innocent, like, “Can you get the #2?” and then, because I’m apparently Beavis & Butthead all rolled into one, I went, “Heh heh. You said #2.” Our friend smiled and said to me, “Don’t worry, you’ll grow out of it. It’s just that you’re around a toddler all day.” And I just nodded, too embarrassed to tell her that I have always found that kind of humor wildly hilarious.

    i hear ya! yesterday shane was “i’m done” (as he likes to yell out) going poop and i came in the bathroom to assist him and i looked down and saw a puddle of pee next to the toilet. i asked if he missed the toilet and he said he did 😀 i don’t want my bathroom to start to smell, which i fear is already happening. not sure what the answer is but a urinal sounds like a good idea!

  4. Too funny! I was just chatting with another mom with a boy Wyatt’s age about how much tugging and obsessing there is over the little penis in this current stage 🙂 I can’t even imagine when he’s potty training. We only have one bathroom which is just nuts and may have to change but it’s already hard enough to share with James.

    They do make some pretty sweet urinals these days- maybe for the teenage years!
