"What does neuter mean?" Hannah asked at dinner tonight.
"It means the vet would cut off Oswald's man parts," Jeremy said.
"Well, not aaaaalll of the man parts," I interjected. "He'd keep his wiener so he could pee." Ironically, Ruthie stabbed her hot dog. "Yeah, they'd just cut off his dangly bits."
"What are dangly bits?" Hannah asked.
Ruth leaned across the table, as if this would make Hannah understand better, "You know his DANGLY BITS"
"What are dangly bits?"
"You know, when you pick up Oswald and hold his back legs so he won't kick you and his man-parts dangle from beneath his fur? His dangly bits" Ruth said again.
Jeremy choked on his food. Joshua turned about eight shades of red trying to hold in laughter. And I sat there mid-chew, probably gawking, wondering where on earth Ruthie learned this charming terminology.
