If Laurel and Rachel were Larry and Ralph, I would ask Ching to deal with this.

As I drove home to get Laurel early from her after school program, I kind of wished I had boys.  My thought is purely hypocritical because if Laurel and Rachel were Larry and Ralph, I would ask Ching to deal with this.  I am picking Laurel up because she had an unfortunate accident on the jungle gym as she was racing on it.  She fell, slipped and her girl parts hit a corner.  Don't tell Laurel I am telling you this--I am being as general as possible just to prove my point.  So, because I have girl parts, I am the resource to help Laurel.

A week ago, I get an e-mail from Ching while I am in Denver.  Apparently Laurel had discomfort while peeing.  He sent this very clinical e-mail about being perplexed and frustrated that he couldn't help but he didn't have vajayjay experience.  (Technically he has seen mine more than I have seen mine.)  But just because I have one doesn't mean I know everything that is going on down/in there.  Having a vajayjay doesn't mean that I am an expert of vajayjays.

I have dreaded the day when I have to talk to Laurel about girl parts.  This means that she is getting older and it is staring me right in the face.  If Laurel were Larry, Ching would have to deal with it because, again hypocritical, he has a penis, he would deal with the Wang Family Wang problems.  (I couldn't help myself.)  Today as we were walking into the doctor's office, she casually grabbed my hand.  She still wants to hold my hand.  This is going to stop soon and talks about girl parts just remind me of that.

Laurel is fine.  She is excited that she is healing.  Glad to be going back to school tomorrow.  Somewhat mortified that grown up woman have to wear pads that feel like diapers.  (I couldn't bring myself to talk about tampons yet.)  Still, a carefree 7 year old girl, perhaps a little tentative on the jungle gym and that's fine by me.
