I went and hung out with my nieces over my lunch break today.
I sat down in a chair at the kitchen table, and one of my little twin nieces crawled into my lap. I wanted a hug and a kiss, but we didn't get that far.
She opened my vest (I had a shirt on underneath) and she pointed to my chest.
"Boobies!"
In theory, I know that you're supposed to teach kids the proper names for body parts. In theory, that works out well.
But today, I was bombarded by "Boobies!" and I was not prepared for it.
I did not have an answer or a response for my little niece. I closed my vest, ignored what she said, then went about with life.
I was not prepared to talk about boobs before lunch.
I failed that aunt test.
Gah.
