So, he and I spent a good hour this evening, just looking up different Egyptian things and he'd tell me the back story. It was educational to say the least. He even has a favorite pharaoh...Ramses II.
He decided I should look up the Egyptian god of fertility. I knew, by his giggle, that he was up to no good.
Wow.
Min (as he was known) was apparently a dwarf of sorts. Um...except for "that certain part of the male anatomy"!
Old art even shows him...um...standing proud...
We discussed how nakedness in Egyptian art is commonplace...but society today often considers the human body a "bad" thing when naked. It was actually a good conversation.
But, we did laugh over the phallus of Min...who perhaps should have been "Max" instead.
Caleb reveled in the delight that one day, he could have a "rocket" like Min. He was, however, disturbed by the fact that Min had no "boys". He said that would be like "losing my best friends."
Hormones...
I thought they were bad for women.
EEEEEEEEEEEKKKKKKK!
And for your viewing pleasure...a statue of "Min" (aka Max)

Caleb reiterated today, that if he had a member like Min did, he'd use it as a weapon. He called it "The Ultimate Tenticle". I assured him, especially at his age, that men don't have that kind of control over that tenticle. This whole thing has just been TMI. EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEK!
I may very well have nightmares about that statue!
At least he's talking with you! Even if it's a difficult subject - honesty is the best policy. Keeping your sense of humor is a close second!

EWWWWWWWWWWWW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
That thing is simply appalling!
I mean, come on, people. Aren't we missing a crucial step in the fertility department? Where's the daggone egg?
I just put you on my blog today in hopes of filling your bucket!
