Simple Enough

I was standing in line at the BX yesterday before I headed in to work and there was this couple and their two boys in front of me. One of the boys, probably 6 or 7, points out a magazine cover featuring the "pregnant Man" and "his" daughter. Here coming the question I am not looking forward to explaining (not necessarily THIS question, but this type) "How does a boy have a baby?" So the mom goes ahead and explains that the "man" is a girl living as a man. I can tell that the older boy (maybe like 10) understands but the younger one doesn't get it. "How is a girl living like a boy?" The mom goes on to explain (impatiently, characteristic of an Army wife) about hormones and testosterone and such. The dad is desperately trying to NOT have this conversation in the line at the BX with the lady behind them listening and smiling (laughing to herself) So to nix the question in the bud dad says, "She does everything like a boy but stand up to pee." End of conversation, but I actually laughed out loud that time cuz the declaration of this simple difference between what it is to be a boy and to be a girl was enough to satiate the curiosity of this boy. The "man" who was a girl, lived just like a man, except "he" had to sit down to pee. Simple enough.
