Boys are nice

As I was taking Gavin's diaper off this evening before his bath, and after the requisite examination of his poop (Claire likes to check it out whenever possible) the following conversation ensued:

Claire: Why do boys have those things?
Me: Well, boys and girls are different and that is how boys look.
Claire: Is that where his neenun comes out? (neenun=poop...baby Claire-speak that has been adopted)
Me: No, but that is where his tinkle comes out.
Claire: Can I touch that thing?
Me: No, Sweetie, we are just changing his diaper...no need to touch it.
Claire: But I like to touch those things!
Me: (biting my lip to keep from laughing) Why, Claire?
Claire: Because boys are nice!

The conversations we will have, that girl and I! I am not sure I am prepared.
