A New Organ

A few nights ago I got Ethan out of the tub. He was dripping wet, but needed to use the potty. I brought him over to his little john and he did his thing. Then I toweled him off, brought him into his room, and put on his diaper. During this process, he told me that he had a "poopis." I assume, based on all of the potty related discussions at our house, this was a combination of "penis" and "pooper." I asked him what it did and he told me "poop/pee." Funny as this sounds many reptiles and all dinosaurs had an organ that did both pooping and peeing called a cloaca (it also handled reproduction). I asked Ethan where his poopis was and he told me, very much to my surprise, "my head." He pointed to his cranial suture, aka the soft spot. Later I asked him if Isaac and I had one and he said yes. I then ask him where Isaac's was and he told us: "Isaac's neck." I asked where mine was and he replied "Neck too Daddy." So go check the mirror and look at your neck and top of the head. You might just find a poopis there. PS: Don't mention poopis in front of Ethan, it will be the only thing he says and it is dangerously close to a potty word.
