Signs my boy is turning into a man at age five and 51 weeks…
This morning as twin boy hurtled at hurricane speed from his bed to bathroom sink he looked at me as I stood sleepily brushing my teeth and said;
“I am putting my PJ’s in the wash because I have worn them two nights.”
Keen to avoid the Everest style laundry, I responded that perhaps PJ’s could be made to stretch for at least three nights. Sharp as a knife he returned, “no mummy, you wear your PJ’s for two nights just like you wear your pants for two days; then off to the wash they go.”. Without waiting for a response he pirouetted out of the room.
Later that day whilst kicking back with a glass of milk watching CBeebies with the girls he fidgetted slightly, lifted one leg, emitted a noise like a leaking balloon and a smell like rotting eggs and merely murmured “s’cuse me” without moving his eyes from the TV.
The final proof that my boy will one day be a man came following his nightly wallow in the tub. As he stood proudly drying himself, he let the towel drop, proudly looked at himself from his toes upwards, assumed a triumphant stance and declared to all who could hear…
“I love my willy, I do”
Boys…..

Thank you for putting my mind at rest! My husband has been farting on the sofa for years and I’ve always considered him rude and in bad taste… having read your post I realise he must just be growing up.

Oh yes, this is so true. I have had to tell Mini that it is OK to fiddle with his penis, but it is something we do in private and not appropriate behavior to have his hand down his pants all the time.
I do hope you change your knickers (pants) more often than every two days!
janeblackmore says
Jen!

Ah thank you so much for sharing this with my link-up – a very nice giggle. Just to even up the stereotyping, GG is spending aaaages in the bathroom and comes down most days having tried on at least 4 outfits before settling on one for the day! Sorry you had trouble linking – it is all done now, you were on the main page, the new posts go out Thursdays with the linky tool. I really need to figure out some sophisticated way of getting my badge to link to whatever the newest #funee post is like Tara does, but I’m not that clever yet
janeblackmore says
Ha! I have no idea and cannot help at all xxx
