Joey was up of of bed running around the house, Carol and Merle were drinking coffee in the kitchen. Carol was going to work and Daryl was on the pre school run with Joey.

'Go wake your Dad up Joey,' Carol told him taking a sip of coffee.

Joey's little legs run off down to Daryl's room opening the door running full steam at the bed climbing up to the side of his bed standing there wondering where to jump first. Daryl's chest was bare with sheets at his waist, he saw his Dad had his eyes closed and straddled his chest leaned forward to open his eyes with his fingers. He pulled his eye lids open.

'You wake up?' Joey asked him. 'You wake?'

'mhhhhhhh' Daryl tried to move his arms but Joey had managed to pin his arms at his side. Daryl was cast. 'Joey, get off,'

'You wake up? Mama said wake up,' Joey hopped off climbed onto the dresser and managed to get one body slam in before Daryl got out of bed

'Joey, get off,' he managed, moving fast so he didn't get one in the nuts. 'Joey don't jump on me,'

'Guess what?' Joey jumped around the bed, Daryl pulled on a pair of jean's looking for a shirt, he sprayed himself with spray, pulled a shirt on. He hunted for some shoes, he would come back and shower, he remembered he promised to take him to pre school and pick him up at the end of the day. He wasn't doing too bad with him when he wasn't leaping off things or kneeing him in the nuts.

'What?' Daryl asked him, he sat on the end of the bed pulling on some gym shoes, Joey jumped on his back climbing up him to his shoulders sitting there then falling back onto the bed to do it again. Daryl had become his climbing gym.

'I got a penis,' Joey jumped around the bed. 'And you got one, Uncle Merle got one and Uncle Rick got one and Mama doesn't,'

'Yes, that's because we are boy's and Mama's a girl,' Daryl told him. He didn't know where this all come from he would ask Carol to make sure he was saying the right thing.

'Penis, penis, penis, penis, penis,' Joey jumped around the bed some more he had somehow turned the one word into a song, 'Penis, penis, pennnnnnnnnnnissssssssssssssssss'

'Joey, it's not something we should be singing about,' Daryl stood up, Joey jumped at him stroking his face looking close into his eyes.

'Why? Penis's are funny, bum's are funny too, and farts,' Joey jumped down from his arms running down the hall shouting 'Farts,'

Daryl grabbed his leather jacket following him down the hall where he could hear Carol telling him it wasn't appropriate to sing about farts or penis's, they were both exciting things but not for singing about.

'Why? But farts are funny, and bums, and penis's, ' Joey told them, Merle had to leave the kitchen with a grin on his face, he took a look at Daryl who was trying not to laugh also, Carol was desperately trying to get him off topic asking him if he wanted a candy.

'Joey, do you know the way to pre school?' Daryl asked him, Joey stopped singing about farts long enough to tell him he knew the way, Carol nodded her thanks and he grabbed a glass of water, Joey's bag. He stopped to say good morning and see you later to Carol.

'You ok?' he asked quietly glancing over to where Joey was tipping out toy blocks to build a tower in the lounge.

'Fine, are you ok?' she asked him.

He bit his lip and gave her a slight nod and whispered, 'Rick's a bit of a dirty prick,'

Carol laughed, Daryl shook his head, 'He dumped a load on me,' he whispered to her.

'You ok with that?' she giggled.

'I don't know, I really didn't have time to think about it,' Daryl told her. 'Come on Joey, you need to show me the way to pre school,'

He gave Carol a kiss goodbye knowing she would be gone when he arrived back. She hugged Joey and waved them goodbye.

Daryl drove to the pre school talking about diggers and trucks that they were passing, the first thing he didn't want to come out of his mouth was Joey announcing to all his female teachers that his dad had a penis. Everyone automatically looked in that direction they couldn't help it. He started talking about the colour and size of the diggers. Joey stuck his finger in his mouth looking out the window at the work site they were passing.

'Is that a boy digger or a girl digger?' he asked.

'I don't know, maybe you could ask your teacher,' Daryl told him from the front seat.

'Why is it yellow/?' Joey asked.

'So its easy to be seen,' Daryl answered.

'Can I have a motor bike?'

'No,' Daryl told him.

'But why?' Joey looked out the window again, 'they got little ones,'

'No motor bikes,' Daryl told him.

'Kitten?' he asked, 'can I have a kitten?'

'Look Joey we are here, quick lets get your bag, you have lots to tell them about diggers and things,' Daryl practically jumped out of his seat to go get him out of his car seat. Helping him out grabbing his bag.

'And penis's, and bums, and farts,' Joey told him.

'Joey, just tell them about the diggers ok.' Daryl told him.

'But Daddy if you have a penis,' Joey stopped him, and whispered, 'stand up toilet,'

'What,' Daryl was confused.

Joey took him to show him what he meant, he got it now why they were talking about penis's if he had one he had to use the new boy urinal's they just put in, Joey stood there looking at it like it was the scariest thing in the world. Then he didn't want Daryl to go. Daryl showed him there was still a normal toilet for him to use if he didn't want to use the new one. Joey looked happy about that. Daryl left him in his room and stopped to talk to a teacher about the toilet. One conversation he never thought he would have had a few months ago about not using a urinal if he didn't want too. The teacher said most of the boys were worried about it but they still had a toilet to use he would be fine. Joey come running for one last hug before Daryl left. At least now he knew what at the talk was about.
