When my daughter was only 5, and getting ready to go to Grade 1, we were teaching her that her privates were, well, private (because in Grade 1 you no longer have a private washroom in the class). Well she caught on real quick! That July 1st I took her to the Canada Day celebrations. That day we were waiting in line for about 45 minutes so she could ride the horse. When we got to the front of the line she says to me in a very loud and clear voice " Mommy, what is that?" I tried to shush her but by this time everyone in the line (and it was a big line) had heard what she was asking. I knelt down and said to her, "Do you remember what Mommy and Daddy are teaching you about privates?" She says yes, and then screeches out, "Well why is that horse's privates hanging out?" Needless to say, that was what seemed to me the quietest the entire crowd was all day and everyone heard her response and burst into tears of laughter, and I laughed right along with them!
