I figure every parent of a kid in the "why" stage gets tough questions sometimes. The funny part is when you get questions that a more mainstream parent wouldn't think are complicated, but to you they are.

Today's entry? "Mommy, can a boy grow up to be a woman?"

(my answer, after a moment of internal boggle: "That's not the usual way it happens." Which seemed to satisfy him for the moment.)

Yeah, I think I've gotten that one while he's triumphantly marching around the house stating the various organs boys and girls come with....I probably responded to it with "Sometimes." Thankfully, I didn't get an additional "Why?" as I unconsciously would have gone into a sociological lecture on the morphology of gender roles in the 21st century :)
