Foreskin Envy

I know it's controversial...but Tom and I chose not to circumcise our sons. When we were trying to decide - I used to joke about it with my brother John. He chanted "Save the Snufulufugus!". He also jokingly told me he was ticked off that he had "his most sensitive portion" removed against his will...and was going to start a website...."findmyforeskin.com"

Today Courtney was watching Bryce for me. Her son watched as Bryce's diaper was changed. He said, "Bradley and Bryce can pop their wiener".
"What?", she exclaimed!

"They can pop their wiener."

"How do you know?", she asked.

"Bradley showed me once. It's closed- and if he pulls it back- it pops out!", he exclaimed.
(*note: this was an innocent "demonstration" over a year ago when Bradley was so proud of his discovery and wanted to show EVERYONE - including the cashier at Walmart. To this day he calls it "Peek-A-Boo Peedie")

"I want MY wiener to pop, Mom", he begged.

"It can't....yours is different."
"Why?", he screamed! "I WANT MY WIENER TO POP!!!!"

Courtney reports that he then began banging his head into the couch repeating his chant over and over. "I want MY weiner to pop!"

Apparently he cried the entire way to my house...beating the seat in the car and hitting the window in an effort to show his disdain for his circumcision.

When they arrived she put him directly into timeout. I wondered why she was full of grins as she dealt with him...until she filled me in through her laughter.

Turns out it was just your typical foreskin envy.

Sounds like John might be on to something...looks like there's a market.
