Grandson's "wienie"

I had the good fortune recently to spend several days with my grandchildren, Annie and Coleman.  Coleman, 5 years old, has all the energy and enthusiasm I wish I could bottle for myself!  One afternoon while riding around town, from the backseat I overhear Coleman to Annie, "look how big my wienie is now!"  Now that's a comment that might cause you to run off the road! Just to be clear, he wasn't showing off his family jewel, he was using his flipflop to suggest just how large his penis might be (with a giggle thrown in for good measure!)  Knowing that young children are naturally curious and naturally conversational about their "privates", I calmly asked Coleman if he was "talking about his privates in public?" and then reminded him, "we only talk about our privates in private."  I've lived long enough to know this short interaction might not nip this behavior in the bud.  But, with all of us who love Coleman sticking with this party line, he can keep his sense of himself intact, learn something about editing, AND keep the rest of us on the road!
