DD1 (3.5 years old) while I got her ready for bed last night:
DD1: Mama, what is this?
Me: That's part of your bottom.
DD1: But what are these?
Me: Those are your labia.
DD1: Why are they there?
Me: Because you're a girl, and girls have labias.
DD1: Does DD2 have them?
Me: Yes.
DD1: Why?
Me: Because she's a girl.
DD1: Do you have them?
Me: Yes.
DD1: Why?
Me: Because I'm a girl, too. (I saw where this was heading...)
DD1: Does Papa have them?
Me: No, Papa's a boy.
DD1: Well what does he have?
Me: He has a penis.
DD1: ::puzzled:: Mama, why does Papa have peanuts on his bottom?

DD1: Papa, these are labia.
DH: :-S Um... yes, they are.
DD1: I have them because I'm a girl.
DH: Yes, you do.
DD1: But boys don't have them. Boys have long tongues on their bottoms.
DH: ????
(FTR, at preschool the bathroom is coed, so that's where she sees the "long tongues", plus when we go swimming lots of Germans let their little kids run around naked)
