There is something about XiaoHo

Grace and my mom taught XiaoHo the difference between girl and boy at very early age. To be honest, I really don’t know how they do it. Nevertheless, XiaoHo knows that women don’t have penis but men do and, obviously, he is a boy.

One day, while XiaoHo was taking a shower, XiaoHo said to Grace that he would like to become a girl. But he was very troubled by the fact that he has a penis. Grace said “Mommy gave it to you, you have to carry it whether you like it or not”.

XiaoHo replied “I want to give it back to you”. Without hesitation, he reached down and tried to detach his penis. The unsuccessful attempt annoyed him so much “But I cannot get it off me”.

When we traveled to the southern Taiwan, we went pass an old town. Seeing tricycles running on the street, Grace sang the famous Taiwanese Nursery rhyme to XiaoHo

Tricycle runs quickly
Carrying an old lady
Fare is fifty cents only
Paid a new dollar bill crispy
What a strange old lady

XiaoHo asked “Where is the old lady?” Grace replied “If you keep being naughty, I will become an old lady very soon”. XiaoHo paused for a while then said “The tricycle is going to take you away”.
