Annie plays in the bathtub for five minutes every night before she gets a bath. Tonight I left the room to get her towel and washcloth, and she quickly called me back in.
"Mom!!! There's something in my body!"
Fearing she'd pooped in the tub like a few weeks ago, I ran in.
She repeated, "Mom, there's something in my body," and pointed (and this is where the men should probably stop reading) to her vagina.
"Yes, Annie, that's your vagina."
"What's a bagina?"
"It's what you pee from."
"Oh. Where's your bagina?"
"It's in my clothes."
"Oh," she then stood up and looked down at the floor outside the tub. Obviously searching for something, she finally looked back at me again.
"Your bagina's in your shoes, Mommy?"
...............Bizarre. I just don't expect to have these conversations. And no parenting magazine has ever covered this issue: What To Do When Your Daughter Thinks Vaginas Belong In Shoes.

She's starting to figure out how she's going to get the "evil" out.
Through her shoes...
ROFL! Hmmm, I've never found mine in my shoes??
OMG - just wait till she starts asking where her penis is! (which is what my 3 year old daughter w/a 7 year old brother does every now & then...)
