Addison has peanut envy

I really wanted to title this as penis envy. As of this morning addison has now told me she wants to stand up when it is time to potty. You see ... Bryson commonly is asked "Do you want to stand up or sit down?". Maybe this is the beginning of another pro-ERA movement.

Penis v. Peanut
---------------------
Months ago my son tells me "I have penis", daddy have penis and addison have penis. Niiiiice. This is not going to get you a date dude. Maybe sloppy seconds. Call me conservative but I'm not ready for my kids to be taught the medical terms of their private organs. Even baby A was dropping one of the PG-13 rated private-oriented terms.

After a handful of "penis" shocks thrown at me during diaper change (I won't comment on the duration elapsed over the "few") I had to start replacing the shock word with peanut. It seems to have caught on; however. I have to wonder what is going on in his head after a birthday party recently where peanuts in a shell aka ballpark peanuts were served. And even more wondering when we were sent home with a bucket and we sat outside Sunday for an hour in our chairs shelling and eating peanuts.

As a proud macho father I'm theorizing he's going to love calf fries or lamb fries.
