Somebody’s woke af.

Humuhumu: “Keiki, are you a boy?”
Keiki: “No!”
Humuhumu: “Keiki, are you a girl?”
Keiki: “No!”
Humuhumu: “What are you, Keiki?”
Keiki: “I’m a KEI-KI.” syllables of name drawn out emphatically

That's adorable! Cute picture too. Look at that cheeky grin!!

[nanila]

It wasn't a fluke, either. I've asked him a couple of times since and receive the same answers.

[sfred]

Aw :-)

[nanila]

Hee. :D

[mysterysquid]

Nice one. :D

[nanila]

Indeed. Self-awareness ftw!

[alexseanchai]

Gooood for Keiki.

[nanila]

It doesn't seem to have been a fluke. The same questions days later yielded the same response.

[alexseanchai]

:)

[gwendraith]

Such a cute picture. Love Keiki's grin :)

[nanila]

They do love making bubble beards. Humuhumu's are getting more and more elaborate. The last one involved mutton chops.

[novel_machinist]

Waaaa They're so cute.

[nanila]

Bathtime is always the cutest.

[cosmolinguist]

Your kids are the best.

[nanila]

I must, and do, agree.

[pbristow]

He-he! =:o}

Is that a small bath, or a large sink? [NOSEY GIT IS NOSEY]

[nanila]

Small-ish bath? I think the perspective makes it look smaller than it actually is.

[evilsusan]

Gotta love the Keiki!

[nanila]

Especially with that cheeky grin!

[cmcmck]

Kids are less phased by that sort of thing- it's us gown ups who have the issues.

[nanila]

Absolutely. Humuhumu, for instance, has an entirely different perspective.

Me: "And what about you, are you a girl?"
Humuhumu: "Yes, I'm a girl."
Me: "Are you sure? You don't have to be."
Humuhumu: "I'm a girl. I'm sure."
Me: "And is that important?"
Humuhumu, after thinking it over: "I don't know."
Me: "It's up to you."
Humuhumu: *smiles, runs off to climb things on the playground*

[lurkingcat]

Hee! Good for Keiki :)

[nanila]

Yes! :D

[silveradept]

Good child. Keep that thought with you as you she, and you will find many friends.

[nanila]

Yes. Self-awareness is quite strong with this one. The same questions days later yielded the same answers.

[emelbe]

A++ from the Eaglet!

[nanila]

Eaglet Seal of Approval ftw! \o/

[ironed_orchid]

Gender reveal bath party!

[nanila]

This comment totally wins this thread.

[meepettemu]

Aww :)

[nanila]

The cuteness at bathtime is almost unbearable.

If only ...

[ed_rex]

If only we all dared to be individuals. Brave on, good Keiki, brave on!

Re: If only ...

[nanila]

"We are all individuals!"
"...I'm not."
"Shhh"

Re: If only ...

[ed_rex]

You caught me out! :)
