Marie: Mama, when I grow up will I get big breasts like yours?
(I love that girl - any question which implies I have big breasts is a GREAT question.)
Me: You will!
...
Marie: Is Jack going to have big breasts when he grows up?
Me: No, boys don't get breasts.
Jack: But I have nipples, just like you.
Marie: ?
Me: Jack, show her then.
Jack: *lifts T-shirt*
Me: Look, Marie, you've got some, too!
Marie: (After careful comparison:) And Jack's are not going to be big when he grows up?
Me: No, but he'll get hair on them, like daddy.
...
Marie: (Very proudly:) When I grow up, I will have big breasts with lots of hair on them!
(I swear she did not see that on me.)

Hairy big breasts - what a way to start my Monday morning!! I'm eating my breakfast too!
ReplyDeleteMy daughter loves to talk about her daddy's hairrrrry boooobs :)
ReplyDeleteI was deeply disturbed yesterday in the car, on the way home from the playzone, when she and her friend had a discussion about the best ways to sadistically pinch thier fathers' nipples.
I don't really know what to do about that one. I suppose it's his job to deal with, really.
That is one amazing scene you have there, Mwa! if only that microcosm were expanded out in all directions... the world would be a different place! No hangups about what is in a fashion magazine, or what their friends think... pure, unadulterated joy at just growing up to be whatever they are to be.
ReplyDeleteI love it.
hmmm.daddy has hairy nipples???? looks at his own* maybe i shozuld get a wig
ReplyDeleteby the way i have seen women with hairy boobs when i lived on cuba..not a pretty sight i tell you!!
@Diney - I get how lice or poo would interfere with breakfast, but surely not hairy breasts?
ReplyDelete@Jo - Indeed. Let him deal with it. I'm sure it's a phase. Actually, boys at school used to do that in Scotland. Until one didn't realise that the other had a nipple ring. Ouch!
@Laura Lee - I know. Don't you just wish they could all stay like that into adulthood?
@Danielle - You should not get a wig. :-) Daddy has some hair on his nipples, but it's not like he's an ape or anything. I personally don't go for the men who look like they have wigs on their chests.
Too funny. When Jack was just shy of 3 he asked my why I had hair on my scrotum.
ReplyDeleteMarie wants the best of both worlds.
ReplyDeleteLol. Oh wait. I thought you meant Michelle wanted the best of both worlds. Baha.
ReplyDelete@michelle, @Ms. Moon, @Jo - That's a brilliant trio of comments. So funny!
ReplyDeleteMy boys are fascinated by my boobs - I am going to have to train them to stop grabbing them, as it's becoming embarrassing....when I tell them that they have nipples too, they just laugh hysterically.
ReplyDeleteAward for you over at mine.
Hahaha Toddlergirl is currently fascinated by nipples and the fact that both Daddy and Mummy have them but only Mummy's have milk... hopefully we're not scarring her forever!
ReplyDeleteThis makes me feel better - when my daughter was born my then 5 year old son said when he saw me feeding her
ReplyDelete"Mummy you really are a mammal..."
You know the scene - paper knickers, giant veiny boobs, no clue what time or day it is, I took it as a compliment xx
Too cute! I hate to know what type of google searches are landing on this page!
ReplyDeleteHaha! Love it.
ReplyDeletehahahaha What a doll!
ReplyDeleteMy daughter has recently learned to pay compliments just to make someone else happy. So she'll say "I like your shoes, Mama" and I like your voice, Mama" or my favorite, "i like your nursies," Well really, Claire, who wouldn't? They are, as she correctly observed big and soft.
ReplyDeleteAnd I thought the worst when I read that title. Let's hope her dream will not come true this time...
ReplyDeleteI have tagged you with a meme over at mine: http://www.metropolitanmum.co.uk/2010/05/spread-the-blogging-love/
Try explaining that one away when she shouts it loudly in a crowded shop!!
ReplyDeleteI just love the things kids come up with...
ReplyDeleteOh! Hahahahahahahahaha!
ReplyDeleteBig Breasts and Hairy Nipples. That is every little girl's dream, right?
ReplyDeleteYay Marie. Why not want both? I totally get that (but than again you know I'm a hairy freak). Good for her!!!!
ReplyDeletefound them ;)
