. . . the mouths of babes

SCENE: Taking a 4 year-old child in my afterschool program to the bathroom.

Him: I want you to come in there with me.
Me: No, you know I can't because I'm a girl (I know I can't because it reeeeks!)
Him: (long stare, brief pause, then revelation) No - yes you can because you're both.
Me: I'm both a boy and a girl?
Him: Yes.
Me: OK, you've convinced me, I'll go.
