Wanting the power that comes with the Penis? Yes, sometimes. Actual dick? Really, NSM. (Although I would probably be the most annoying man, ever. Things probably worked out the way that they should've, there.)

Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, nail polish, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
Yeah, I can't really imagine looking at a dick and thinking that was a good idea. OTOH, I totes enjoy having one.
Perhaps the Pythons said it best:
Isn't it awfully nice to have a penis?
Isn't it frightfully good to have a dong?
It's swell to have a stiffy.
It's divine to own a dick,
From the tiniest little tadger
To the world's biggest prick.
So, three cheers for your Willy or John Thomas.
Hooray for your one-eyed trouser snake,
Your piece of pork, your wife's best friend,
Your Percy, or your cock.
You can wrap it up in ribbons.
You can slip it in your sock,
But don't take it out in public,
Or they will stick you in the dock,
And you won't come back.
Oh, thank God, Burrell. It's at least comforting to know that it's not just my kid, that "dreamy little sociopath" is completely developmentally normal.
I may be over psychoanalyzing it, but I think it's just a literalization of the mirror stage. As in, the first ego-imago of the child is the parent, so their sense of themselves comes from seeing themselves through us. In this case actually seeing themselves reflected in the eyes of someone who loves them.
And--ahem--I must admit my tendency to psychoanalyze stops short of buying into penis envy. Cute origin myth on Freud's part, but hopelessly fixed in a particular cultural moment.

I'm guessing hubba hubba's not an appropriate response, is it?
Oh well.
The yarn box is here, the yarn box is here! I know what I'll be doing most of today.
I very much envy the ability to go relatively discreetly when trapped in a traffic jam. Also, I've worked at several companies where a penis was required for promotion, even though in some cases the person in question only thought with his penis.
Crap, I should have had Onerous Task Day today, but I just couldn't. Maybe tomorrow?
