Today I was in my room cleaning up, getting ready for company to come over. My oldest son, who is 9 years old, walks into my room and tells me that he needs to "take a dump." (I've taught them so well.) He was in there for a while, when out of the blue he calls for his brother. I told him whatever he needed to say to his brother could wait until he got off of the toilet.
I went outside to put some clothes in the washer. When I came back inside, I can hear both of my boys in the bathroom laughing hysterically. I look in and can't believe what I see! Andrew is sitting on the pot and Ethan is on his knees looking at (examining, actually) Andrew's, um, YOU KNOW WHAT.
"OH MY GOD, what is going on in here?!" I shout. Andrew looks slightly mortified that I saw what was going on and he says "ummm, I was just showing ethan that I am (ARE YOU READY FOR THIS?) growing hair on my balls."
Oh.My.God Did you get that, people? My 9 year old was on the pot, taking a dump, showing his 5 year old brother that he was GROWING HAIR ON HIS BALLS!!!
*akward silence*
I tell him "he can't be growing hair on his balls! He's only 9 years old!" As I'm telling him this, Ethan pulls down his pants and starts examining his balls.
"oh, I think i see hair on my balls too."
I tell Ethan to PUT HIS PANTS BACK ON and to get out of the bathroom. He's laughing so hard as he's pulling his pants up and singing "Andrew has hairy balls! Andrew has hairy balls!"
I told my son to wipe his ass and get out of the bathroom already and then I walked outside to the garage where I almost killed myself from laughing hysterically. Then, I panicked just a little. Was there a book that I should have read on this subject? (The subject being "My son is only 9 and is growing hair on his balls.)
The story doesn't end there, folks.
A few minutes later, Andrew. I walked into the bathroom to give him a towel.
"Mom" he said "I really am getting hair on my balls."
I was trying to be an understanding mother and not let him see I was EXTREMELY UNCOMFORTABLE discussing hairy balls with him.
"I don't think you are, son, but, if you say so, I'll take your word for it."
"Look!" He said, as I turned my head JUST IN TIME to see my son tugging on a litle hair the size of an eyelash as he screams "OUCH!!" whilst pulling on it.
"OK ANDREW I BELIEVE YOU THAT YOU ARE GROWING HAIR ON YOUR BALLS, you and your penis may kindly get in the shower now."
Do I need to tell you that the days that followed were filled with endless "Your balls are so hairy jokes?"
(Your balls are so hairy, people call you Hairy Potter.)
I can honestly say, I did not see this one coming.
Hairy balls.
Thanks for sharing Andrew, mommy is so proud.
Oh my!! lol I couldn't stop laughing!!! Well heh I have two girls (ages 9 and 6) and two boys (2 and 10 months) wow, something to look forward too, discussing hairy balls with my boys, I am blushing just *thinking* about that conversation,lol
