Help ds1 has made a large clay cock

246 replies

I mean it is an erect penis. It is in proportion and quite detailed. He didn't intend it for a cock as far as I know - he was just messing about with clay, but the finished model is quite unmistakeably in the shape of a man's genitalia. It has a bell end and everything.

Normally when ds has made a model we varnish it and put it on the windowsill. He is very proud of this model. Wtf am I going to do? I have the health visitor coming round this week and it is not really going to impress her is it.

This thread is making me wish I had been a bit more diligent about doing my pelvic floor exercises.

I vote save it for his wedding present.

Mrs weasly - thats like something from little Britain!
F&Z best thread I've read in a loooong time
More worried about the clay turd he's mounted his masterpiece upon though...

I, too, read this as 'clock' and couldn't see why it was getting so many replies!

Your DS is lovely Frances. If it helps, he probably doesn't think it's a cock. I know my boys actually saw some Chapman stuff, a few years back (DS1 was probably your DS's age) and didn't recognise the penises (penii?) in it as penises, presumably because they were circumcised, erect, or both.

So it is clearly an accident, or some sort of Jungian thing.

Maybe Daddy needs to have it on his desk at work? [helpful]

I enjoyed this so much last night that I'm bumping it for the daytime crowd to have a laugh.

Reminds me of a little diddle us kids used to sing:

A Lady near Hay
made herself a cock in clay
she poured over codliver oil
and soon she had a bun in the oven.


Well done on your ds's inspired masterpiece!

LilRedWG · 29/07/2008 10:19

It's a work of art!! Please DO NOT destroy it. Bring it out at his future wife's hen party instead.

MamaG · 29/07/2008 10:27

Agree you have to ask him w hat it is

FrannyandZooey · 29/07/2008 11:26

ok he says "it is just shapes mummy" and on being further pressed "it is just a MODEL"

he is a bit about our interest in the cock tbh, especially as he made a really nice one of boats at the same timr

lazaroulovesleggings · 29/07/2008 15:05

PMSL! It looks like it's sitting on a turd!

Holy crap that really is a cock'o'clay! Going back to DorrisMcWhirter's comment - you could have it 'as a treat' in your room

FrannyandZooey · 29/07/2008 16:28

thank you for your concern for its well being
it is air drying clay so it just keeps on getting harder
not many cocks you can say that about

well we got through the day without any papier mache vulvas appearing

I have artfully draped a tea towel over the cock so it isn't visible from the street

Have you given 'it' a name though Franny?
It is worthy of one

WilfSell · 29/07/2008 21:03

'I have artfully draped a tea towel over the cock so it isn't visible from the street'

Yes. The DH says this to me all the time, reclining on the sofa.

southeastastra · 29/07/2008 21:04

put it artfully next to the blue tree

ExterminAitch · 29/07/2008 21:04

lol at MrSell.

ExterminAitch · 29/07/2008 21:05

oh yes, you very much must paint it blue and whack some fairy lights on come christmas.

Beauregard · 29/07/2008 21:06

Yeah just picture "The christmas cock"

ExterminAitch · 29/07/2008 21:09

on the twelfth day of christmas my true love gave to meeeeee...

WilfSell · 29/07/2008 21:10

No, no, no. You all must have missed my earlier post. She's going to make it into a special water feature. And she's going to put a tiny touch of cornflour in the water, just for, er, verisimilitude.
