That’s hilarious!! Starting young…hmmm
November 25th, 2007 at 10:51 pmSweet wittle Miles.
November 25th, 2007 at 11:00 pmI also like that somehow the spelling here is peni$. I don’t know why, but it looks kinda right somehow.
i have been reading your blog for a few weeks now, and i really enjoy it!
i had to comment for the first time tonight- as the mother of two little boys, i have had almost the exact same conversation! your post brought a real smile to my face when i needed one this evening. thanks!
btw- i have been checking your holiday gift guide recently and love all your suggestions. i am definitely planning on my boys finding a few of your recommended items under our tree this year.
November 25th, 2007 at 11:03 pmOh, he’s already started. Sigh-h. Didn’t know the delusions began at such a young age.
November 25th, 2007 at 11:05 pmOh, how wittle Miles always manages to make me laugh!
November 25th, 2007 at 11:05 pmWhat is it with boys and their …? Oddly enough, my five-year-old daughter calls them “peanuts”.
November 25th, 2007 at 11:06 pmThank you for the laugh. I remember those conversations with my sons and they always cracked me up. Too funny!!
November 25th, 2007 at 11:07 pmDelurking here, because that is SO FUNNY and I just love it. I have 2 sons, and one of them in particular is FASCINATED by his peni$ as well. I absolutely love that conversation! And your pics are gorgeous too!
November 25th, 2007 at 11:18 pmOh my word, I am laughing so hard…..
November 25th, 2007 at 11:19 pmThat is very cute, indeed. With all those big brothers running around, he must be feeling a little outclassed in the genitals department.
November 25th, 2007 at 11:35 pmNo wonder they grow up thinking 6 inches is a foot. They kid themselves early on.
November 25th, 2007 at 11:45 pmThat is hilarious! You can’t teach that…it’s bred right in there with their DNA.
November 25th, 2007 at 11:46 pmHA! Great kid…sounds like he can hold his own in a room full of big brothers!
November 25th, 2007 at 11:49 pmDefinitely a sign of a child with older brothers!
I love him.
November 25th, 2007 at 11:55 pmMy husband and I just died laughing when we read this!
November 26th, 2007 at 12:11 amThe testosterone oozes out of my laptop every time I pull up your page.
November 26th, 2007 at 12:15 am*snort*
Typical male
November 26th, 2007 at 12:16 amMy 4 year old says the same thing. Silly boys.
November 26th, 2007 at 12:30 amhee hee hee you can totally tell he has older brothers
November 26th, 2007 at 1:29 amSo Funny! I’m giggling not just over his quip, but your response was just as classic!
November 26th, 2007 at 1:38 amI can’t breathe!
aaaaaaahahahahahahah
November 26th, 2007 at 1:50 amwait…wait… cinnamon buns? I don’t want to know, do I?
November 26th, 2007 at 1:51 amOh how I love almost three-year-olds. Miles and my little almost three-year-old would be bestest friends eber.
November 26th, 2007 at 2:21 amThis one totally cracked me up! Priceless!
November 26th, 2007 at 2:54 amFunniest thing I’ve heard all day.
November 26th, 2007 at 2:54 amI think I just woke the house with my laughter! Oh my… Boys.
My cousin smashed his with a rock on the concrete (honest to God) when he was Miles age. Go figure! It still (unfortunately for him) comes up at family get togethers and he even still wonders why he did it. Maybe it wasnt big enough? heehee!
November 26th, 2007 at 2:59 amAnd where did he learn that? too funny!
November 26th, 2007 at 3:18 amI just love this.
November 26th, 2007 at 6:57 amOh, Heather, that’s just scary. Hope he’s healed well.
November 26th, 2007 at 7:37 amAnd Miles - too cute, too cute.
That cracks me up. You handled that so very well.
November 26th, 2007 at 7:44 amROTFL! I love it!
November 26th, 2007 at 7:47 amThat’s hiwarias!
November 26th, 2007 at 7:47 amI hope you share this conversation with him when he’s a teenager - and then again when he’s 30.
Heh.
November 26th, 2007 at 8:00 amI particularly love this conversation when your 4 year old decides to have it with your closest friend!!!
November 26th, 2007 at 8:21 amYes, it’s great that you blog these small details. It will be great fodder for embarrassing them when they’re older! Then again, he may be PROUD of this particular conversation.
November 26th, 2007 at 8:33 amThat is a great conversation!
November 26th, 2007 at 9:11 amIt’s endearing when boys/men lie to themselves.
November 26th, 2007 at 9:27 amOMG! Don’t you just love how they start that at such a young age! LOL
November 26th, 2007 at 10:04 amThat’s hysterical!!!
November 26th, 2007 at 10:49 am*Snort*
Cannot lose it..am at work…cannot lose …
BWAHAHHHAAAAAAAHAAAAAA !!!!
Absolutely hysterical !
November 26th, 2007 at 11:02 amToo perfect! As the mother of boys, I bow to your superior wit in responding to such matters. I tend to stumble and bumble a bit. Well done!
November 26th, 2007 at 11:06 amhow funny! my 2.5 yr old calls it his tail. we did not teach him this, he came up with it himself.
November 26th, 2007 at 11:22 ami never, ever laugh before i get coffee. except today, apparently. thanks.
November 26th, 2007 at 11:36 amhahaha!!! that’s hilarious! i was driving one day with my 6-year-old cousin in the backseat several years ago and he told me his was big enough to hit me and the front windshield!! it’s amazing how boys seem to believe this stuff right out of the womb!! haha…
November 26th, 2007 at 11:55 amThank you. I was having a terrible, no good, PMS sort of morning, and this totally lightened my mood. What a guy!
November 26th, 2007 at 11:57 amoh man, that’s just the cutest!!
November 26th, 2007 at 12:44 pmLMAO That is way funny. I just love what boys say. My 3yr old thinks he’s is the best toy ever which is just great when your out in public. SIGH Love your answer too sounds like something I would say. Thanks for the laugh
November 26th, 2007 at 1:01 pmI didn’t know they started thinking like this so soon! What is it, part of their DNA?
November 26th, 2007 at 1:02 pmAnd this is the part where Bossy dies, but it was worth it.
November 26th, 2007 at 2:11 pmHeh that is hilarious - they all like to think that. My middle son called his “wenis” until he learned that “wee” was never to be associated with his penis.
November 26th, 2007 at 2:13 pmI have a feeling your husband is going to claim responsibility for that genetic trait.
November 26th, 2007 at 2:35 pmAs the mother of 4 girls I am ROTFL laughing AND thanky my lucky stars for my girls.
If you get a minute, swing by my blog, I am posting some links to some great giveaways and who doesn’t love to win free stuff right?!
November 26th, 2007 at 2:53 pmMy ped. corrected me quickly when I asked him to check my 2nd child’s ‘little penis’ at his two wk. old checkup,lol…………………’you may never call it a little penis’. Miles has got it right!
November 26th, 2007 at 2:54 pmIs it an instinct for males of all ages to be proud of their peni$? This is so hilarious!
November 26th, 2007 at 3:46 pmThanks for the gigantic belly laugh. [still chuckling]
November 26th, 2007 at 3:54 pmAnd so it begins!
November 26th, 2007 at 3:59 pm…or, your typical conversation with an intoxicated 40 years old….
November 26th, 2007 at 5:22 pmThere you have it. Proof that it is male instict to think that his is big. Too funny.
November 26th, 2007 at 6:04 pmWell you know what Roseanne said - men are good at reading maps ‘cos only they can get their heads around one inch meaning one mile….
November 26th, 2007 at 7:00 pmAhhh, the joys of wittle boys! I just had to comment on this one. It was tooooo cute to read!
November 26th, 2007 at 9:26 pmToo funny! My oldest (he’s 5) recently dropped trou in front of his grandma to show her how big his was compared to his baby cousin’s!
November 26th, 2007 at 9:40 pm3 going on 35. Sigh.
November 26th, 2007 at 9:56 pmOh, Miles! Your stories about him make me laugh so hard, wove him!
November 27th, 2007 at 12:39 amOh-my-gosh, Chris. You totally crack me up! Thanks for lots of laughs. And thank that widdle Miles too!
November 27th, 2007 at 1:20 ami swear they are born with that embedded in their little brains. lol! he is so sweet.
November 27th, 2007 at 7:17 amWow - what good material to use to toast Miles at his wedding!
November 27th, 2007 at 8:27 amI love Miles, but what is almost as hilarious, is is the female view of men and their peni$’s……….
November 27th, 2007 at 11:39 amThat kills me. Boys will be boys. Mine, too.
November 27th, 2007 at 3:08 pmSoon after RC was born, Andy’s cousin came over and said to me “so I hear RC is hung like a truck driver.”
a. It was a topic of conversation
November 27th, 2007 at 3:37 pmb. It was clearly a point of pride for my husband
c. Are truck drivers notoriously well hung?
I overheard a similar conversation between my son and his dad. My son was wondering when his would grow as big as his dad’s. He called his dad’s “cool.” All my husband could do was laugh.
November 27th, 2007 at 3:55 pmI just had a conversation with my almost 4 yr old yesterday–he was wondering where my “peni$$$” was. When I reminded him I didn’t have one, he remembered that ..
–”Oh…yeah, you hab a wittle hole. Why do you hab a wittle hole?” said almost 4 yr old.
–”So that I can go to the bathroom. Why do you have a peni$?” said I.
–”so I can pee too!” said almost 4 yr. old.
Never have I had this conversation with my daughter, nor her with her dad. Oh, the fascination boys have with the purpose and priority of their peni$.
November 27th, 2007 at 6:12 pmAs the mom of 5 boys (no girls) I can totally relate to this conversation, and tell you, the bigger they get, the bigger they think it gets. Just ask my 17 yr old.
November 27th, 2007 at 7:18 pmFUNNY FUNNY FUNNY Hysterically FUNNY!
November 27th, 2007 at 8:08 pmBoys are just little men in training…big P indeed.
All laughs and size/boy/peni$ size jokes aside: That is by far the cutest lil’ set of ‘cinnamon buns’ I’ve seen in…quite some time. The wee sturdy legs alone are enough to cause spontaneous ovulation. For me, at least.
November 27th, 2007 at 10:17 pm[...] check out Chris’ conversation with her almost 3-yr old. Welcome to the world I live in. I promise you will [...]
November 27th, 2007 at 10:56 pmI did not see that one coming! Too funny!
November 28th, 2007 at 1:36 amI know this is a late reply.
Never mind what Miles said.
How can you get past that picture? That hat! “He’s too cute for everyone.” I’ve only said this about my grandson, so Miles is in the best, cutest company.
