I have been meaning to post this story for some time now. It's too funny and need to be remembered down the road.
So I'm sitting in my bedroom folding laundry and watching TV (I'm pretty sure it was So you think you can Dance) while Malachi is across the hall taking a bath. I am then interrupted by a "Mommy! Something is wrong!" My imagination ran wild. What on Earth could be going on in the bath that's 'wrong'? First thing that came to mind was he let a number 2 slip out (it's happened before, twice). So, I made my way in and this is how the conversation went:
Me: "What's wrong baby?"
Chi: "I have poke-a-dots on my potty." (Potty is what he calls his, um well, you know.)
Me: "What do you mean you have poke-a-dots on your potty?"
Chi: "I have poke-a-dots on my potty." (I"m sure he was thinking... duh! I just said that!)
Me: "Ok, well show me what you are talking about hun." (I prepared myself for what I was about to see.)
Chi: "Right here mommy."
He then pointed to the discoloration on his penis where he was circumcised. I couldn't help but laugh. I did try very hard to keep it in though. Ok, I thought. How do I go about explaining this in the best possible way...
Me: "Well sweetie, that's normal. It'll be alright. Everything is fine, I promise."
Chi: "Really? Ok, mommy."
Wow! I didn't know what to say. I couldn't bring myself to tell him anything about the actual process that went on. I'm sure everyone will agree with me that he is entirely too young to hear or even comprehend that story.
So that was that. Just thought it would be a great story to reflect back on in the years to come.
