Claudia: You don’t have a penis.
Me: Nope. I’m a girl. Only boys have penises.
Claudia: Ian’s a boy.
Me: Right. Who else is a boy?
Claudia: Daddy’s a boy. Grandpa is a boy. Boots is a boy. Uncle Mike…
Boots. Boots the freaking monkey from Dora the Explorer trumps my brother and Claudia’s other grandfather in order of the first people that come to mind who are boys. Boots.
I think we watch too much television.

As long as she never sees his penis, I think we’ll all be okay.

But let’s be honest… are we entirely sure that Boots is a boy?

Is she really sure that Boots has a penis? I’ve never seen it. Unless it’s tucked away in one of his boots…

Just be glad she didn’t come out with Sanjaya. Although he’s about as androgynous as Boots.

Boots does have a penis, he just doesn’t wear it on the show.

OMG I thought for sure only boys had the penis discussion. The other day, my ds pointed at my dh’s crotch and said, “Daddy has penis”. Then he began to list all his little friends and ask if they too had penises. All this before 9 am. All this before coffee. All this before 2 1/2.
We had a similar “who poops” discussion during which my ds announced that Thomas (the Tank Engine) does NOT poop. No dearheart, he peep peeps instead.

But would you rather think about your father-in-law’s penis or Boots’ penis? I think Claudia may be on to something…

At least Boots wasn’t first.

We had a talk the other day about all the different names people use for testicles. Boots did not come up in our conversation at all. Interesting.

Crazy Frog has an actual visible penis. How warped is that?

Clearly, as the picture you included in your post indicates, Boots is not well endowed. Perhaps there was a freakish accident in the animal testing lab from which Dora Rescued him in Episode 1.

hahahahahaha!
Yeah- that’s all I got.

Is Boots a boy?

whew i had a very similar conversation with Tessa the other day – glad to know i’m not the only one who had to agree that Boots has a penis.. Of course tessa then asked where it was since he wears no pants and baby brothers penis is right between his legs…

I SO can’t wait to have kids. That’s all I gotta say.

Don’t worry….All the cartoon characters trump all the real life people around here!

But does Boots REALLY have a shlong? I have my doubts.

My mind is going to places it really shouldn’t. Thanks for the laugh!

I just learned today from my 4-year-old that Curious George does NOT have a penis.
April 29th, 2007 at 12:17 pm, Jana Says:
Oh I’m sure Boots is a boy as he often sings about his love for his bouncy balls.

Ha ha. Is this what I have to look forward to? My girls are just now talking….. boy look out. It probably doesn’t help that I’ve identified their area down below at the “who-who”. I’m sure that will raise a lot of questions down the road…

Okay…here is my embarrasing moment…….
I had sex with Boots in college once. He was such an animal.

Does she realize that is a tail? If you think about it curious george does not have the long tail, boot does maybe Claudia thinks that boots Tail is a big penis?
