God doesn't need to see that.

lol

Wow, no wonder Mrs Bashcraft gets sick when she's pregnant, there are sets of clothing forming in there.

That's some ultrasound logic there.

And I was born wearing a 3 piece suite....suit, I said suit!

It's cute what kids say at that age!

Very cute conversation!

Heh, great story. Children never cease to amaze me.

Charming little devil.

Gold. Complete awesomeness.

I used to think girls were born with long hair, boys with short.

It, seems logical to me, Captain.

Mini-Bash got you there, though, I'm surprised you didn't know if he was born with pants or not though...

if you recorded the birth.. now's the time to whip out the tape ;)

Thanks for that one, Bash. You just made my day. :)

Why does the word 'pants' always make me laugh? I guess I never mentally progressed beyond the 6th grade.

I'm glad Mrs. Bash is back home! Congrats!

Funny story, as always.

It may not be related to video games, but that was one of the funniest things I've read in quite a while. hehe.

i was born naked...what does THAT mean?

lmao That kid should have his own show.

@geekgrrl: Never! Never! I don't think I've ever been the same since I saw a live birth at the Health Sciences Museum in eighth grade. Though, it definitely gave me an appreciation for what women go through. Just, wait a little while, BAsh, before showing Mini-Bash anything like that. I'd even let him play GTA before I showed him something that disturbing.

That was too cute! This really put a smile on my face. Thanks for sharing, Bash.

I don't like kids but the conversations you and your family have (Mini-bash included) are amazing.

@geekgrrl: Photoshop the tape to add pants?

I think your kid will be hunted / kidnapped by Cosby if you keep posting this stuff up.

If Cosby wasn't alive, I'd swear he'd reincarnated as your son.

Kids Logic = Unbeatable. Don't even try to question it. Flawless stuff!

@RPGr:

... that was weird.

@RPGr: Cosby is definatly the first thing that comes to mind.

"I'm sorry I thought the show was called 'Kid's Say the Darndest Things' not 'Old, Black, Comedians Never Shut the Hell Up'" -Stewie Griffin

Hehe, if I were you I'd start documenting all of this stuff inside a family album or something.
Your son says some very out-of-a-sitcom-character-who's-young-and-often-displays-its-misunderstanding-of-the -world stuff.

I use to talk with my parent about astronomy: talking about black holes, the galaxy spiral shape, how long take to fly to a star in C speed.

A that age, I whas in the know the death of dinosaurs was not a asteroids, A damn asteroid has a orbit, and don't fall into planet, so was a meteoroid.

I whas exceptical about the existence of God, but I mostly think that it exist, because other people think that exist. With all my knogment about the astronomy, the existence of God whas inelegant to me.

There are tons of people that think God is real, but I think is beacause old dog's don't learn new tricks. I hope one day a therapy is invented, so old people become as smart as 4 years old childrens, and become able again to learn new tricks. If only, because this will make learning new langs really easy :D

And the reason why the belly is so big is because of the 3 tiny chinese making the clothes after 3 months, they are eaten at 6 months, meanwhile their machines are burnt by the evil fluid lost right before birth.

@JustJake: I second that. In fact, the whole Bashcraft family should have their own show. Seriously, think about it. An American living in Japan with a hot wife, adorable kids and a job that involves video games and seeking out "maximum risky" topics all over asia.

You think anyone in the 18-40 yo male demographic would be interested in a show like that? Sponsors would be all over that shit. Do it!

PS. glad to hear that Mrs. Bashcraft is back home with you and mini.

@icepick314:

Exhibitionist?

@tehFluffz:

Yeah, or even a blog on the internet, that would be hilarious.

kid logic is funny.

Bash, you and you're family are awesome.

Why is this here?
How is this gaming related?
In before Rogz.

whew! good to know she's back home (again)! hope it's all smooth sailing from here!

This kid is HERO!

Just goes to show you how gender is socially constructed. I bet most adults would have a hard time explaining how they could tell a baby girl from a boy if they couldn't see their sex organ or if they "miss-matched" dress styles.

Very nice.

But what if you were born wearing a pantsuit?

Or capris?

Then what? :)

@Amino: Buhbye.

I used to think cats were girls and dogs were boys.

Don't forget the bow. Girls always have a bow, how else do we know who's Mrs. Pacman and who's Pacman?

bash: most parents record there child's moments through Video so that when they are older, they can showcase them to there girlfriend/boyfiend.

I can only imagine the horror Mini-bash is experiencing when he's 23, not so mini, and is rereading the archives of this blog :D

@AnnePackrat: Lipstick. I don't think many when where lipstick, unless they're. . . you know. . . clowns.

You really need to publish a "Best of Mini-Bash" coffee table book...maybe free with his paper DS.

Aw, that's super cute! :)

Kids that age always come up with the cutest things.

Glad Mrs. Bash is home!

Guess we know who wheres the pants in the family

Has no one mentioned pantsu yet? No one? Think of the children!

Hahah your kid's hilarious Ashcraft.

So thats how doctors find out if you are a boy or a girl.

Art Linkletter would be proud if he knew.

Happy news, Bash!! Hopefully she's home to stay this time!

The legend that is Mini-Bash grows. That kid is simply made of win.

@Amino: Your a complete moron, this is the day/night note, its a regular feature on Kotaku

Mini-bash is the FUCKING MAN!

@Interstella5555: I'm in for 3!

Awww... Thats sweet. :]

@Amino: The writers always leave notes for each other on this site. :/

@almarota1979: "Just goes to show you how gender is socially constructed. I bet most adults would have a hard time explaining how they could tell a baby girl from a boy if they couldn't see their sex organ or if they "miss-matched" dress styles. "

Most adults don't just have a hard time explaining what to look for, they have a hard time telling them apart. We don't dress our girl in pink very often. Multiple times daily we'd hear "Oh, what a handsome boy. What's his name?". I enjoy the the look on their faces when I tell them he's called Isabella.

@enigma89: Ah, hella typos! I meant "I don't think many men wear lipstick".

@myspambox: Yeah babies are hard to tell for gender. That's always embarassing.

@Amino: "Why is this here?"

I think the real question here is: why are you here?

The awesomeness of a baby born with tiny pants on trumps gaming relevancy anyway.

@enigma89:

Ichiban!

Saiko!

Hilarious.

@icepick314: Lmao this made me spit out my water at work.

The darnest things, kids say.

That is adorable and hilarious. Some of the things kid's say... ;)

When I was his age I thought sperm was air-born (Damn "Look Who's Talking" Movies), so as far as I'm concerned Mini-Bash is more competent than I was/am.

@Amino:

I'd really hate to think you were just joking. The "In before Rogs" gives me the impression that you were, but the lack of a ;) leaves it pretty ambiguos.

@Lezard: I see what you did there. :)

Ash, your stories are entertaining as always.

lololololol...lo

That is so cute and adorable :oD

I still have the pants I was born with.
