*Disclaimer - this posts contains talk about Little Girl Privates - Read at your own risk*

Since Heaten started going peepee in the big potty Shenzie has noticed that his privates are different than hers. She always wants to pee standing up and doesn’t understand why she has to sit and Heaten doesn’t. A couple of weeks ago while sitting on the potty she started yelling and almost crying - OUCHIE AWA, OUCHIE AWA MAMA. I go running in there thinking she fell in the toilet or something and she is holding her privates saying HOLE HOLE. At first I don’t get what she is saying, but then it clicks. She thinks her privates were broke with a hole because Heaten doesn’t have one. I am trying not to laugh when I explain that boys and girls have different privates and Mommy has a hole too. I tell her we’re not broken and she doesn’t have an ouchie awa. To make matters worse I was having my monthly girl time and she saw me use a tampon. The next day she had a play syringe and was holding it against her privates. I was freaking out and explained that only Mama’s put stuff in their holes. OMG, just typing that is cracking me up. I’m sorry Shenzie to embarrass you like this, but I really want this story in your book - one day in the far away future you’ll laugh along with me (or not since it means you’ll have your period which just SUCKS!).
And since I’m so nice and don’t want Shenzie to wallow in embarrassment alone I thought I’d post all about my pee issues too. =) So here is your official disclaimer - if you don’t want to read about a grown lady going pee in the back of her car click the x button now.
I was on my way to a photo session this weekend and had just downed a cup of coffee to get me going. Bad idea since I knew I would have to pee, but the park we chose has nice bathrooms so all was well in pee world. Until I found myself almost late for our appointment and I didn’t want to get there and then right away be like - ummm, excuse me, I realize I’m late, but I need a few more minutes to pee. So I did what any person carting around a potty in their car would do, I climbed in the back of my SUV, closed the hatch, pulled out Shenzie and Heaten’s emergency car potty and peed right in it. I hopped out, dumped my pee in the gutter, climbed in the drivers seat, sanitized my hands, and fled the scene of the crime!! I was 2 minutes late and the shoot went fantastic with no more pee emergencies. =)

Ha! We had a similar issue when the boys were in the bathroom when I showering. They asked me where my pee.nis was! I had to explain too.
I appreciate a good pee in public story. I just peed in the bushes on my run this morning bc I forgot to pee before I left the house. It was my first SCARED pee bc they caught a rabid fox on that running trail yesterday. I’ve been freaked out about rabid animals ever since hearing a This American Life halloween special about a rabid raccoon attacking a woman.
(Also if I have typos in my comments, for some reason the left side of the comment box is missing so I can’t see what I’ve typed. I’m not a bad speller I swear!)

haha! I’ve had to have that talk with the boys. They always want to know where my didng ding is. I had to tell them girls don’t have ding dings. Also my boys think my pads or tampons are baindaids and that I have an owwwie. I just go with it and tell them girls have to wear bainaids in their big girl pants sometimes. Hahaha the things we never knew we would have to explain!
