Cow Physiology 101

Like every parent, I have a favorite “funny thing” spouted by my child when he was young. Well, I fondly remember a lot of things Christian said, but this one stood out.

He was about a year and a half, and our grocery store had a giant inflatable cow hanging above the dairy aisle.

Sitting in the child seat of the grocery cart, Christian looked up at its underside and udders, and in that carrying voice that toddlers have, he uttered his observation:

“COW! PENIS! ONE-TWO-THREE-FOUR!”

The entire dairy section froze… and busted up laughing.

  2. The best! When my daughter was three-years-old, we were walking through a parking lot and she enthusiastically pointed at a black family and shouted, “Look, mommy! Those people are brown!” as if she had never seen a person of color before (three of our immediate neighbors were black families). I was mortified, but the mother smiled and laughed. And then my daughter said to her, “I’m pink!” LOL.

  3. I had a similar moment with my son when he was about 2-3. The dog went outside to poop, it was very cold and of course the poop had steam coming out of it when my son said “is that why they call it a steamer”

  4. My son use to have a friend whose parents worked in hog barns. Imagine my surprise when I came home from work one day and learned that T had watched a pig ‘poop’ out 3 or 4 piglets. I had a hard time keeping a straight face on that one.

    I remember when dad was pushing you in that cart, and a man squeezed by, saying “excuse me.” In your best parade ground voice you asked, “Did that man, toot, daddy?“
