Over the weekend, Girl Wonder and I watched Babe. You know, the movie about a sheep herding pig?
Something about the tiny piglet triggered a question in the dark recesses of my girl’s little brain.
“Mom, how can you tell if a pig is a boy or a girl?”
This is not the first time we’ve talked about “mechanics”, but having no brothers she’s still a little vague about it all. I should have pointed things out while we were at the farm, (everyone! gather round, check out that horse’s…) but, well…eww.
So I explained about the pig’s bits, using correct terms (gag) in a casual manner.
But, honestly people, there is a better way to discover the sex of a creature.
In my experience, if you take an animal to Home Depot and it wants collect paint cards, it’s a girl.
However, if it does something like this
in an effort to collect discarded “tools”
the animal is undoubtedly a boy.
The end.

Where is that BOY’s mom?! Doesn’t she know how filthy those floors are?
I think she is busy leaving the first comment on today’s post.
And for the record she (you) tried to get him to stop, but I just had to whip out my camera and make it fun.
I think you have it all figured out! Thanks for the laugh!

lol My boys asked how to tell if a worm is a boy or a girl! II think worms are both and wasn’t sure how to approach that one so I told them I don’t know! I think pig is much easier to explain! Oh and not to blow your reasoning but my boys collect paint samples, but not to decorate. Nope, they hit each other with them and throw them around like Frisbees! NCLM
Kims last blog post..What Was I Thinking?
That’s pretty great. Keep things simple. My 4 year old has a baby brother and quickly put together the fact that the baby and her daddy have similar bits.
I guess that’s one conversation I’ll never have to have.
Jolenes last blog post..Oh Good
Hilarious!
I have two girls, one boy, the boy is the youngest.
Never did my girls ever think that while we were putting away groceries, an orange or apple should be used as a ball.
When Z. could find his toys, I caught him more than once in the fruit drawer looking for a substitute.
Great pictures!
