**FUNNY STORY -- MAKE SURE YOU EMPTY YOUR BLADDER BEFORE READING THIS STORY!**
Ok, let me give you all the background of the story so you understand. I have a friend names Shauna whom I met through this situation with Ava. Her little girl 'Charlie' also suffered a birth injury and has a G-Tube, is on oxygen as needed, etc etc. Shauna also has a little boy named 'Adrian' who is 3. Shauna and I laugh when get together for playdates because my Aohdan is usually running around the house dragging his screwdriver and other tools and being all boy, and Adrian is usually more reserved and does not like all the commotion. Adrian is a very good talker, and is pretty advanced as far as his language and carries on a conversation quite well. It is pertinent to the story for everyone to know that the ONLY 2 little girls Adrian has EVER been around are Ava and Charlie. So here goes the story...
Shauna is doing housework one day, and Adrian is picking her brain about the birds and the bees, and where babies come from and such. So Shauna is doing the best she can to explain this hard topic to a 3 year old. So she's in the middle of explaining to him and he interjects and says, "Mom, little boys have penis's and little girls have feeding tubes." I FELL OUT laughing when she told me this story! He has a baby doll that they used for him while potty training, and he announced to Shauna that his baby needed a G-Tube and such. So Shauna (bless her heart) cleaned off her kitchen table, took an extra G-Tube of Charlie's and, as she put it, "The surgery was successful!" LOLOLOL! She tells me how Adrian uses her medical syringes and pretends like he's giving his baby bolus feeds and meds through her G-Tube. Ahhhhhh, how kids brighten up our lives with their sweet innocence!
