I WANNA see PAPPY get a SHOT

I did not know my granddaughter could cry so loud. She was totally upset because we sent her from the room as I prepared to give my Husband a shot in his hip.

She protested so much we had to stop and have a conversation about it. She thought since my grandson was able to be in the room she should to. We tried to explain, her brother is a boy like Pappy and he has the same body parts so it's okay for him. She is smart and quick as a whip, without missing a beat she replied, but Uni (that's what they call me) is a girl and she in the room.

Needful to say at 4 years old we had to have a in depth talk about boy verses girl, wife verses husband role. I think my children where 8 to 10 before we had to have this talk. Is it the world we live on that's causing this? Or just being caught in situations that warrant conversation. Then taking the time to thoughtfully explain it to the young ones so they can understand.

Have you had this conversation yet? Let me know how you handled it.

Love Ya See Ya Bye
