'Mummy, you touch Daddy's willy?'

[hairymcleary]

This little gem was uttered by DS (2.4) this morning... I had no idea how to respond!!
He had hopped into bed with me while DH was in the shower and he was putting his hand down my nightie to give my boobs a squeeze (chronic boob toucher- have not been able to get him to stop doing this, although generally now only when tired/ wanting comfort). Then he started talking about my nipples (which I always tell him to stay away from 'they're for mummy' etc etc), somehow this lead on to him talking about willies and he just blurted out 'Mummy, you touch Daddy's willy?' I was very
and muttered something like 'is that right' and changed the subject.
I have no idea where he got the idea from and would have thought that 2.4 was a bit early to be interested in what DH and I get up to behind closed doors!
Is it time for me to start talking about this with him?

I don't think that he's thinking about what you and your DH get up to but more that he's clicked that williess, like boobs, are 'private parts'.

If it comes up again, how about something like. 'It's Daddy's willy. You only touch someone elses willy if they say it is ok'

We went through a phase of DD asking DS if she could touch his willy in the bath and him letting her but she has lost interest now she is nearly 4.

Ooh I have no advice, but loving that I don't have the only nork addict child

DS is now 2.8, and generally sticks to his own "popples" (nipples) now, but when he is wiped out he tries to shove his hand down my top, and I I try to stop him says "Popples pleeeeeeeeease mummy" with big blue puppy eyes

My DS 3.2 comes out with some real corkers.
' Daddy's got a big willy hasnt he Mummy?' 'And I've got a small willy.'
The best was to my MIL, ' My Daddy's got lots of hair on his willy!'

My dd (4) did a fantastic drawing of her dad with the hugest willy. Her teacher stuck it above the door to the classroom so that everyone could admire it. DH was mortified when I told him. Me and the teacher had a bloody good laugh though
