Boy Parts vs. Girl Parts

One could write a book (and many certainly have) about the difference between men and women. I'm not going to get into details about any gender-specific tendancies, today I just want to talk today about the basics... boy parts vs. girl parts. This weekend my 8-month-old made two exciting discoveries. One, that he has hair on top of his head, and two, that God gave him boy parts. He loves them... so much that he literally can't keep his hands off them. I started to thinking about it, and at this point I realize this is sort of a rite of passage all men go through... the beginning of a never ending obsession with their "peepers". This I can understand. A man's whole world literally revolves around it. What I don't understand, however, is the need to adjust/grab/shift/scratch their stuff in public. Being a female, I really can't comprehend the logic behind this behavior. Is it uncomfortable? Is it itchy? Are they just double checking that it's still there??? I have never heard of a penis just "falling off". Pretty sure that would make national news. Hoping my husband could enlighten me, I asked him last night to explain why men do this. His answer, "I dunno, sometimes it's just not where you want it to be". I couldn't help but laugh. He is the typical male - keep it simple. I am the typical female - make it complicated.

That is absolutely hysterical. I would never want one of those dingly dangly things between my legs. We are blessed to be women.
