This is why my hair is thinning

Berkeley: When I get bigger, maybe a little older, then blood will come out of my vagina.

Scott: Eh?

Berkeley: Yep. It will. Blood will come right out and I will get blood all over my pants and my underpants. And so then I will have to put a pad in my underpants to soak up all the blood.

Scott: Um. OK. Would you like to read Animal Orchestra?

Berkeley: First, I need to get a pad. What is the pad called?

Scott: Uh. I think it's just called a pad. Look a horse! Let's tie the horse up to the hitching post!

Berkeley: Yes, it's called a pad. Wait, was is it called? Should we ask Mommy? I don't have any blood in my vagina now, but when I get older I will. Yyyyyep. It will come down down down from my uterus. That's called "getting ready for a baby". And then I will have a baby in my uterus.

Scott: Not if I have anything to say about it. Would you like a drink of milk or something? Anything?

Berkeley: Yeah, a baby. What is the pad called again? Should we ask Mommy?

Scott: Please, do. Go ask Mommy.

No need to purchase "Our Bodies, Ourselves" for this one. I can't wait to see her teacher's eyes enlarge when Berkeley tells it like it is at school. DR. Berkeley is IN!

If she is asking you this at 3 years old Scott...just what will you two be discussing at thirteen. I say just shave your head now, chrome dome it and say VIVA TELE SEVALAS.
