This morning as the snow fell the 4 year old, the 5 year old and I ate breakfast. I decided to sit back, sip my tea and daydream seeing as they weren’t having the ‘he/she is looking at me again’ argument that is normally had over breakfast.
4 year old – What are they again?
5 year old – Testicles
4 year old - Tesss tea clets?
5 year old - No, testicles
4 year old - Do you have testinckles?
5 year old – No, only boys have testicles
4 year old - So, does Mummy have tenticles?
5 year old - No
4 year old - What are they called again?
The 5 year old rolls her eyes to the ceiling as only a true wannabe teenager could.
5 year old - They are TESTICLES! OK?
4 year old - OK

Should I even ask why the 5 year old was discussing testicles over breakfast?
admin on February 22, 2010
It seems in our house, anything goes over breakfast.
Unfortunately due to my daydreaming, tea sipping status I missed the start of the conversation.
admin on February 22, 2010
Oh, I should probably add that the 4 year old has recently discovered his tess tea clets … though not at the breakfast table.

My tewo have not yet discovered testi’s yet, but my they do have willie obsessions, but then dont all men!!
admin on February 22, 2010
The willie obsession has been downgraded to a code yellow now that he’s discovered his testicles, which is a code red situation.

Snort!
I’m dreading these type of random conversations when my two are older. I’ll be cringing away and trying my very bestest not to snigger!
admin on February 22, 2010
I’m waiting for these conversations to be aired in a public place. I have a feeling that the breakfast conversation was just a practice.
Kathie on February 22, 2010
Haha! I can’t wait for Toby to start having these kinds of conversations!
admin on February 22, 2010
With the 5 year old it was far easier … just ‘girlie bits’. The 4 year old wants more specific information each time!
Andrea on February 22, 2010
Funny! My 8 year old still calls them his ‘Tenticles’ and I remember my teenager sitting in the bath when he was about 5, lifting his willy up and saying ‘What are these two ball things for?’ How do you answer that without the whole ‘How babies are made’ conversation!
admin on February 23, 2010
He hasn’t asked what they’re for yet, thank god!

As always, you made me giggle! Love the stories of your lovely mad house, life is never dull with kids around is it? x
admin on February 23, 2010
Never. I wouldn’t have it any other way!
Victoria on February 22, 2010
As always, you’ve made me chuckle out loud. It’s OK, only the three year old’s listening and anything goes as far as he’s concerned.
We’ve not moved beyond willies. I look forward to the testicle discussion.
admin on February 23, 2010
I do feel I need to be more prepared for these conversations. Though I’m not sure how!
Heather on February 22, 2010
I think you took the best route by ignoring this type of conversation, it’s not one you want to get dragged into over breakfast, is it?
admin on February 23, 2010
I just left them to it. I had a testicle conversation with the 4 year old a few days ago and it wasn’t too bad, but I know it can only get worse.
Susie on February 22, 2010
LMAO!
My 3 1/2 year old yesterday made a couple of comments about mommy and daddy’s private parts and started asking lots of questions.
Hope we have no breakfast conversations like yours loL!
admin on February 23, 2010
My emergency answer is forever going to be ‘Ask Daddy’
audreyhorne on February 22, 2010
Oh, that’s priceless. Wait until you have the word ’scrotum’ bandied about at the breakfast table. That is quite off-putting…
admin on February 23, 2010
Testicles I can handle but scrotum … at the breakfast table? I have standards you know
Big Sis on February 22, 2010
love it! Mine used to call them his tentacles. Clearly something to do with his recent football match?
admin on February 23, 2010
The football match didn’t go to plan this week.
Mark J Daniels on February 22, 2010
Oh you wait for it…! My eldest turns ten next week. He is unable to explain to me properly (and I have to hide a smile) why he goes into Ultimate Show Off Mode when the pretty baby sitter comes round to look after him and his brother…
admin on February 23, 2010
Ha, so it will only get worse then?!
Dulwich divorcee on February 22, 2010
Ah, the joys of the family breakfast, takes me back to endless discussion of ‘nimpolls’
admin on February 23, 2010
Nimpolls, I love it.
Gappy on February 22, 2010
Oh don’t you worry, there’ll be plenty more where that came from. My sons favourite trick is to get their three year old sister to shout ‘Ow my penis!’ in public. She is so delighted at their laughter and seeming approval that she just keeps saying it over and over again. All I can do is hang my head in shame….
admin on February 23, 2010
I must admit the 5 year old seems to revel in her brothers testcile conversations … I’m just waiting for the inevitable conversation in public … in loud voices
Nana Mouskori on February 23, 2010
I think they would be able to say “teabag” quite easily.
