I Should Have Known

I should have know that no good would come from this conversation, especially as it was being held with a five-year-old.

"Dad, do sometimes dads have babies?" Logan wanted to know.

"No," I said, "Dads have a penis."

Knowing that he was only five, I hoped that this would be enough to appease him, but I knew in my heart it would not.

"Dad, why did you say 'penis' out loud to me?"

Sigh

"Say penis again!" he squealed.  "Say penis again!"
