Bean's introduction to the male anatomy

Recently Bean saw her (boy) friend "Stinky" changing out of his swimsuit after a day at the splash park. I saw her staring, and managed to distract her, albeit too late. I knew she was processing, so I was just waiting for the bomb to drop.

My mom babysat her, and (of course) this is when Bean decided to talk through everything. "I saw a little boy getting changed, and his stuff was hanging out!" Bean proceeds to look disgusted. "Oh... really..." said my mom, moving quickly into panic mode. "And he didn't have fur like mommy or daddy." This would be the point that most people would start dialing Child Services, so of course I had some 'splaining to do when I went to pick her up. I managed to reassure Mom that Bean has NOT seen BigGuy naked (much to my mom's relief), but that she's seen me go to the bathroom. So that of course was why I had to explain to her that mommies and daddies have hair down there, and she would too when she grew up.

Here's hoping it's a LONG time before we have to have a discussion like this again.
