Good thing we go over his homework, BEFORE he turns it in.

We recently had the
"difference between boys & girls"
 talk with Layton.

Nothing too detailed.
Just the basic "different parts" conversation.

He asked.

We told.

No big deal.

---------------------

This morning I was helping him with his homework assignment.

He had to choose 2 words that started with "B" and draw a picture to go with them.

He was finishing coloring it in, when I got up to grab a paper clip.

When I heard him say:

"There Mommy, now my teacher will know he's a boy."

I turn back to see him proudly displaying his assignment,

with his adorable, and innocent smile on his face.
I was MORTIFIED!

After I picked my chin up off the floor,

I walked into another room so he couldn't

see me laughing so hard that I cried.

For once in my life.

I was speechless.

-----------------

Long story, short.

We sat down with him and discussed what was

appropriate and inappropriate behavior.

The poor kid was heart-broken.

He really didn't know any better.

He does now.

------------------

After this experience,

I've come to this conclusion.

I figure, it's better to just laugh it off, and look at it this way:

At least we have one HILARIOUS story to tell his kids someday.
