WARNING... PENIS TALK AHEAD
Doober=Penis
That's the way it has always been in my family.
That's what I've passed down to my own family.
Thing 1 comes home from school a little while ago and declares,
"MOM! No one else calls this a DOOBER!"
Me: Well, you know it's also called a Penis right.
Thing 1: YES (rolling his eyes at me). But everyone else calls it a WIENER (weener?)
I just had to laugh at that.
Next up... Circumcision
Thing 1 is not circumcised. We did a bunch of research when he was born and made an educated decision to leave him uncut. There is no medical reason to do it. It's considered cosmetic surgery by the insurance and not covered. I understand why people do it, but I didn't want to cut the foreskin of my newborn son. I've always wondered when this would come up. So one day...

Thing 1: So mom, look what I can do with my doober. (He pulls the skin all the way back to show me his new doober skills... oh the joy of having a boy!)
Me: Wow! That's only for private time okay.
Thing 1: So mom, I saw a lot of Doobers today (it was field day and I guess all the boys changed clothes together). Everyone else doesn't have this piece. Their doobers look a little funny.
Me: (why isn't G here to answer these questions!). Well, a lot of people have that little piece of skin cut off when they are babies. A lot of moms want their baby boy to look like their daddy so they trim it off.
Thing 1: YOUCH! Like Surgery! Whoa! Thank you SO MUCH MOM for not cutting my doober and making me have surgery! What if they messed up and cut off this part by accident! Wow, I'm glad I have my whole doober still.
Me: Me too. Is it weird that it doesn't look like your friends'?
Thing 1: No way. They had surgery. I like mine. It's like F's (his friend) doober.
Me: True... (I name a few others). Some people are going to have doober skin like yours and others are not. It's fine either way.
A few nights later Thing 1 comes into my room after he should be long asleep and says,
"Mom, I just wanted to thank you again for not cutting my doober."
My boy is getting so grown up!
