Our two boys are still having a hard time understanding girls. We had some friends over for dinner this week. They have 2 girls, one a few months older than Daniel and the other a little younger than Josh.
They are definitely a strange breed to our boys. With all their long pullable hair and pretty outfits, the boys were fascinated. They tried to play with them the way they do with their boy buddies, but apparently little girls don't like smashing cars and running into walls.
The one thing they have in common though is a need to get out of their clothes. After dinner, the younger girl was in the living room with the boys and she had pulled her shirt off. I went in to help this 20-month-old redress herself and Daniel and Josh both started yelling, "Nipples! Nipples! And boobies! Boobies and Nipples!"
I tried to tell them not to say that. But Daniel asked a very good question, "Is nipples a bad word?" I couldn't come up with an answer that made sense to me and to him. What do you say to something like that?
