You'd think I'd know better...but in the car on the way to soccer camp this morning with two 10 year old boys and my daughter, I said without thinking, "Weren't they going to give you new balls?"
Charlie about lost it he was laughing so hard. "Why would I need new balls mom? I've got two perfectly good ones right here!"
He and his friend Philippe then just cracked up forever with sister giggling along, but not in a way that convinced me she knew why. I asked her if she knew what "balls" were and why they thought it was so funny. And then just to be sure, I started to explain (not wanting her to feel left out).
"Mom! I don't need a bunch of details about a boy's penis," she insisted. Ok then. I have done my parental duty for the day, don't you think?
