Since I got pregnant, we've been teaching the Papaya a simplified version of the birds & the bees. As a part of this, we explained to him that the Banana & I both have wombs - places where babies can grow inside our bodies - but that he doesn't.
After some thought, he dealt with his womb envy by composing the following song and singing it to me (my brother-in-law the poet will be gratified to see he didn't feel the need to make it rhyme):
"I have a brain
And you have a womb
But when you look deeper
We both have a head!"

What a boy!
Four years old and he is already writing Haiku!
I take it that it is a parody of the classic Veggi Tales song in 'Are you my neighbor?' J and I like to make up alternative lyrics too, though I must confess that sometimes. . . well. . .
they rhyme :-O
