Today Molly wanted to see her brains. I explained to her that her brains were in her head where they needed to remain for their protection. She asked me how she got brains. Naturally, I replied, "Mommy gave them to you." My cleverness quickly trumped with her response, "when I was in your uterus?"
"Yes," I explained "when you were growing in my uterus." We then went on to discuss how girls have uteruses. "Not boys." she confirmed. "No, not boys. Only girls have uteruses." And with her amazing not-quite-two-year-old deductive logic she replied "and boys don't have brains."
...of course I explained that boys do have brains (and refrained from any expansion on this).
