Daddy's Parts: A One Act


At some point we will get this whole anatomy deal all worked out. I fear that point is no time soon.

DADDY’S PARTS

(BOB and I are in the backyard playing with bubbles.)


BOB
Mama has a bagina.


ME
Yes.


BOB
Daddy has a penis and a bagina.


ME
No. I can assure you with certainty - that is not true.


BOB
He does. I saw it.


ME
I saw it more and he doesn’t.


BOB
Then what is that? It’s Daddy’s bottom? Where poo comes out?


ME
He does have a bottom.

(Pause.)


BOB
Are you sure it’s not a bagina?


END SCENE

  1. I have my 6 month post partum check up today. I'm thinking about using the term bagina while talking to my midwife.

  2. My three-year old son George and I have some similar conversations. Recently he wanted to know "what those little balls were for." Also overheard between him and my husband:

    George: "Daddy, is your penis big?"
    My husband: "Yes, it's massive."

    Do you ever feel like you live in a fraternity?!!!

    (By the way, I love your blog! I went to high school with Jeff and I think we might have gone to preschool together too)

  3. Hi George's Mom! Thanks!
    All conversational roads here lead to poop, body parts, or Thomas the Tank Engine.
    Or any combination of the above.
