Overheard


... in the men's locker room at the gym today:

Son (about 4 years old): Daddy?
Father: Yeah?
Son: You have a big wee-wee.
Father: (awkward pause) Thanks, son. When you grow up, yours will get big too.
Son: How does it get big?
Father: (awkward pause) Just like the rest of your body gets bigger.
Son: How does your body get bigger?

At this point, dad beat a hasty retreat from the conversation. Good thing too, because "good food and exercise" really wasn't going to cut it when the boy starts asking how one exercises that part of the body.

And now I'm thinking of all the surreal conversations I'm going to have over the next decade or so. Why was I not warned?
