Then I began requesting that he save his personal pleasuring times fortime whenhe was onhisown, in his room, or in the bath for example. I would turn my back and read while he bathed and played only checking once in awhile to be sure he was alright.

There he would be, standing is the tub, his penis and scrotum pulled up as high as they would stretch, examining them closely. But that didn’tslow down his mouth one little bit.

Finally, I reached my wits end with this child and his penis which made itself apparent every where we went. I asked the health nurse about it. I was told that this

was developmental and would go away ina few weeks

(which of course it didn’t).

I was in one of those rare situations where I wished I was nota single parent and that Daddy would materi- alize and deal with this problem (which of course he didn’t). I of course was not qualified - I was a girl- I could nothave one. But the solution had to be some- where. I simply had to locate it. But after months, only one solution surfaced.

| took him to a friend’s house, a friend who had horses. We went out to the pasture to watch the peldings graze. Eventually, one of them extended to full length - about-four feet - in order to urinate. “Now that is a penis,”’

never heard from Pauly about his penis again though

am sure that in private moments he still engages in

elf pleasure and examination. I am sure he is wait-

ng for the day when he will grow, as will his penis

eprople will look at himand say, ‘‘now that isa is!”’

I stated calmly and walked

Jne would think that was the end to the penis problem ut just the other day, my younger son, Peter, started

howing an interest in potty training. | suppose by ext week, I will have tirelieve him of his diaper and

in up a whole new unexplored world for him.
