    Kindergarteners say some interesting things. The amount of times I had to “yup, okay, anyways this neat (redirection)” were daily. But you work with them long enough and you know their family secrets without asking for sure.

      I know a 5 year old that came in proudly telling everyone, “When I grow up, I’m going to be a dwarf!” He then held his hand lower than his current height and said, “I’ll be this tall!” He’s short, sure, but he’s not in the little person height range.

      I think somewhere between him talking about dwarf planets, and his short height, somebody probably said it as a joke and he took it seriously.

    To hazard a guess, mom (now dad?) lost a ‘front butt’ and had it replaced. Never had to explain transitioning to a young kid, but I could see that being a way.

      it took me multiple seconds to comprehend “front butt”, i feel like i’ve heard it before and been flabberghasted by it. Is this is a normal expression in some places?

        I don’t know about normal or common, but I’ve heard it a few times used to describe a vagina to little kids. Everyone has a back butt and can understand the basic structure, but young boys particularly asking where babies come from could use some help understanding the mechanics.

    Butt is already the sexiest part of human body. I just dont have enough imagination to see how sexy it would be if person had two butts.
