Yucky boys

This morning, I was doing my homework on the computer when Madi came downstairs and sat on my lap. I started asking her about school, and she told me about her best friends Maia and Yubin. I then asked her about her friends Logan and Jeramiah. I said, "they're boys, eww. Boys are yucky." But then she looked at me seriously and stated, "Daddy, boys aren't food. They're not yucky." I stand corrected.

The Mustache Conversation

Madi and I were eating breakfast together the other morning, when out of the blue she asks, "Daddy, what's a mustache?"

I replied, pointing to my upper lip "a mustache is when a guy (or girl on occasion) has whiskers here on their face. I then continued: "When a boy has hair around his lips and on his chin, that's called a goatee. And when he's got hair all the way around his jaw and on his neck, that's a beard."

Madi looked at me for a minute, and then suddenly, as if a lightbulb had just popped on, she confidently stated, "So that's why you don't have any hair on top of your head!"

"Um, yeah, Madi. It all migrated south..."
