Upon bringing our new baby boy home about 6 months ago, I was wondering how I was going to explain the differences to our 3 year old daughter. Instead of starting something I thought I would just let her see for herself.

She sat and watched us change his diaper for the first time at home, and I thought "here we go" just then she says "Huh, look at that?" I said "what?" she then said "He only has one finger on his bum." She then walked away shaking her head and chuckling "one finger". Now if you ask her what he has she says "Michael has only one finger on his bum......And he pees with it!"
