Just Having a Ball Around Here

Fade In: Casey's house. Interior. Day. Nils is napping. Casey is cutting pattern pieces. Carolena is playing with play dough. Casey's back is turned toward Carolena.

Carolena: I'm going to make something and you can guess what it is.
Casey: Okay cool. I get hints though, right?
Carolena: Yes. First hint: it's a body part, and it's a ball.
Casey Internal Monologue: ohmygodohmygodohmygod
Casey: hmm... is it... ummm... an eyeball?
Carolena: {lots of giggling} noooooo...
Casey Internal Monologue: play it cool. play it cool. think woman think!
Carolena: {lots of giggling}
Casey: Let me think... is it... an elbow?
Carolena: {lots of giggling} No! It's a body part. And a ball. It's balls that are body parts.
Casey Internal Monologue: Holy mackerel! ohmygodohmygodohmygod. Okay, think of all those times moms have given the advice to not jump to conclusions. This can't be what it sounds like. If it is... we'll cross that bridge when we come to it in .5 seconds.
Carolena: {lots of giggling}
Casey: It's really not an eyeball?
Carolena: {lots of giggling} Okay, it's a guy. And he has balls on his body.
Casey Internal Monologue: SERIOUSLY? Am I on hidden camera? Is this for real? Oh what am I going to do if she says a boy's name?!
Carolena: Okay, another hint: he has a carrot nose...
Casey Internal Monologue: Oh thank God!!
Carolena: It's a snowman!!!!
Casey's turns to see finished product and is relieved to see it is in fact a snowman (and thankfully without extra balls).

    Difference between having a girl as a first child and a boy as a first child- here's how that would play at our house:

    Me, minding my own business.
    Toddler Boy: PENIS! HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!
