Growing up with sisters

"Courtney, how do boys get skinny?" my five-year-old brother asked me. "Do they exercise a lot?"

"Well, yes. But why do you want to know?" He looked down and was silent.

I guessed: "Do you want to be skinny?"

Very ashamed, he replied, "Yes. I want my tummy to be so flat it looks like it was smooshed."

Oh dear.

Haha, that's a great story...

I remember the time my mom noticed that my brother's legs were starting to get real hair on them, and he replied "Oh yeah... I need to start shaving."
