Turning off the shower, Jordan stepped out, grabbing for a clean towel.
His hand hit a bare rack.
"Dan............Can you get me a towel? Yo, Danny, you there?" he called out the open door.
Grumbling, he patted the worst of the water off with the face towel and shook his head like Fiddlesticks. He couldn't complain; it was his turn at laundry, but he was kinda dripping here.
Shaking the shaving cream can, he squirted a handful and smoothed it on his face. Reaching for the razor, he heard the front door bang shut.
"Can you get me a towel, Hon?"
He heard a giggle and a snip of the linen closet door. A small face appeared, peering over a big towel. "Here be's me with a towel. I be's Hon."
Jordan laughed, "You're my little Hon. Thanks, Punkin." He took the fluffy blue towel, dried his back and shoulders and gave his hair a rough rub.
He and Dan had agreed to be casual with JD about bare skin. Not to make a big deal about it. He could feel JD staring, but kept shaving.
"Daddy?"
"Uh huh?" Jordan mumbled around the white Gillette foam.
"What's that?"
Aw, shit. "What, JD?" he asked, wishing Dan was here. He was much better at this stuff.
"That." He looked over to see JD pointing at something below his waist.
"It's the same stuff you've got."
"Nah," JD puzzled, "I don't gots one of those."
Trying to keep this conversation smooth, Jordan kept shaving. "JD, you've got the same equipment I've got. We're both guys. He took a deep breath and jumped in, "You've got a penis just like mine....maybe it's not as ............,"
"Daddddyyyy!" JD sighed loudly. "I know I'z gots a peenis."
"You want to shave with me?" Jordan tried to change the subject.
"Daddy! I just wants to know what be's that," he pointed.
Jordan stopped and looked at JD. "Okay, what do I have that you don't have?" He looked down at his crotch and then over at JD.
JD rolled his eyes in that 'Daddys can be so dumb' way he had and pointed again. Seeing that his Daddy wasn't getting it, he tried to explain. "I see'd
that and I checked Nickie. She don't gots one either."
"Well, no. Nickie won't have one. She's a girl."
"I know my sissy be's a girl," JD answered, belligerently. "Daddyyyy!"
"She won't have a penis," Jordan said, wishing loudly that Dan would appear in the doorway right now.
"Wait, Daddy." Jordan breathed a sigh of relief when JD ran off into the other room. Feeling a bit naked, he draped the towel around his waist and knotted it firmly.
JD came running back with a box of Cheerios. "See, Daddy?"
Just then, the door opened and Jordan heard the familiar sound of the tip tap of Danny's braces.
"Dan! In here! Right now!" he called out.
Danny's beautiful face appeared in the doorway. "You called? Hey, little punkin. You hungry?" he asked, seeing the Cheerios.
