in jan’s kindergarten, they have a huge bathroom, with 4 kiddie-sized sinks and three toilet cubicles. all are completely communal, and there are no designations according to gender. one day at home, as i heaved jan atop the loo (yes, boys here are taught to sit while taking a leak), he asked:

“mama, why do girls have buttocks on the front, too?”

dang! i thought i still had a few years to review for this question.
