Oh gosh. You poor thing. And your poor dad, lol. He must have been mortified. Oh well. You survived and you've got a good head on your shoulders, so there is that.
Yes. The funny thing is that many years later, when my parents were kind enough to babysit my three-year old son, he too, walked in on my dad in the bathroom taking a leak.
When we picked up our son and were driving home, he asked me, "Mommy, does grandpa have two pee pees? I said, "What!?" Apparently, he saw my dad in the bathroom and was genuinely interested in why he appeared to have two of them. I called my brother up and said, "Um, is there a family secret I don't know about?" My brother laughed and said, "No, dad has a hydrocele which causes his testicles to hang down as long as his penis, which hangs down halfway to his knees."
Lol. No wonder he was confused, and no wonder I was taken by surprise as a little girl who had not seen anything like that before!
Haha. You're little boy, lol. Well, I can tell you, that certainly would have been shocking - even for me. I have never seen or even heard of a hycrocele. I'm glad your brother was able to explain. And your dad needs to start locking the door! lol.
You are right! Also, I fixed my typo - it is a hyDrocele not hyCrocele. Duh! Here is an explanation:
A hydrocele (HI-droe-seel) is a type of swelling in the scrotum, the pouch of skin that holds the testicles. This swelling happens when fluid collects in the thin sac that surrounds a testicle, often causing that testicle to elongate and hang down longer than normal.
Hydrocele is common in newborns and usually disappears without treatment within the first year. Older men can develop hydroceles, sometimes due to inflammation or injury. Hydroceles are usually painless, but may become large and inconvenient.
Girl!
