anatomy

A couple of funny exchanges from the last two days:
Abby's friend gave her a horse statue the other day. Matthew was looking at the rearing stallion and commented to me (with Abby close enough to hear him...)

M: Clearly it's a boy horse.
A: How do you know that?
M: (chuckling to himself) Because it's anatomically correct.
A: (Looking at the horse) Where does it say that?

He just said, "It doesn't," and then Noah distracted Abby and Matthew dropped the topic.

Then, on a walk the other evening, we saw a squirrel running in front of us. The squirrel had ridiculously large parts, which were so prominent that we were laughing.
G:There goes a boy squirrel.
A: How do you know it's a boy?
G: uh, he has a very bushy tail; I think boy squirrels have extra bushy tails.
M: (stepping in and being more truthful) Momma knows because you can see the squirrel's privates and you can tell he's a boy.
A: Oh.

And that was it! No questions asked.
