00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:00.640 align:middle line:90%


00:00:00.640 --> 00:00:02.640 align:middle line:84%
This is called The Big
Difference and any of you

00:00:02.640 --> 00:00:08.640 align:middle line:84%
who have had little boys
you'll recognize the situation.

00:00:08.640 --> 00:00:12.150 align:middle line:84%
It all comes down to this,
all eyes upon it everywhere

00:00:12.150 --> 00:00:13.020 align:middle line:90%
he goes.

00:00:13.020 --> 00:00:15.960 align:middle line:90%
The pizzle, Mr. peenie weenie.

00:00:15.960 --> 00:00:18.360 align:middle line:84%
Thing of many names
he hasn't plumbed

00:00:18.360 --> 00:00:21.120 align:middle line:84%
the thousandfold
functions of yet.

00:00:21.120 --> 00:00:23.910 align:middle line:84%
Not even the toes
when first discovered

00:00:23.910 --> 00:00:27.270 align:middle line:84%
were so various in their
knobby repetitions.

00:00:27.270 --> 00:00:29.700 align:middle line:84%
Mother doesn't have
one, she's hiding it,

00:00:29.700 --> 00:00:31.950 align:middle line:90%
he says, and then insists.

00:00:31.950 --> 00:00:35.370 align:middle line:84%
Then moves it forward like
a torpedo through the water,

00:00:35.370 --> 00:00:38.280 align:middle line:84%
trying to keep up
with it himself.

00:00:38.280 --> 00:00:42.300 align:middle line:84%
Already and it's an obsession,
more important than its uses,

00:00:42.300 --> 00:00:45.060 align:middle line:84%
without which nothing
in his daily rounds

00:00:45.060 --> 00:00:48.000 align:middle line:84%
would have meaning as he
waddles through the world

00:00:48.000 --> 00:00:51.150 align:middle line:84%
like a bowlegged cowboy
with a brand new rope.

00:00:51.150 --> 00:00:54.900 align:middle line:84%
Stretching it, stroking
it, telling its stories,

00:00:54.900 --> 00:00:57.210 align:middle line:84%
dragging it back and
forth as though it

00:00:57.210 --> 00:01:00.930 align:middle line:84%
had an agenda of its own,
not to be reasoned with.

00:01:00.930 --> 00:01:04.410 align:middle line:84%
Something of a burden
lately like a baby brother.

00:01:04.410 --> 00:01:08.160 align:middle line:84%
His mother smiles and tries
to yank his diaper up.

00:01:08.160 --> 00:01:09.270 align:middle line:90%
Surprise.

00:01:09.270 --> 00:01:12.390 align:middle line:84%
Such a little thing can
become such a big event

00:01:12.390 --> 00:01:14.700 align:middle line:84%
in the supermarket
as we hurry down

00:01:14.700 --> 00:01:17.790 align:middle line:84%
the aisle to catch him
giggling, all of us.

00:01:17.790 --> 00:01:20.910 align:middle line:84%
The men nodding, the women
with their full carts

00:01:20.910 --> 00:01:24.210 align:middle line:84%
stopped in amusement, him
guessing what the fuss is all

00:01:24.210 --> 00:01:27.060 align:middle line:90%
about, watching it subside.

00:01:27.060 --> 00:01:30.110 align:middle line:90%
[LAUGHTER]

00:01:30.110 --> 00:01:31.000 align:middle line:90%
