the difference between boys & girls

Scene:  me, pumping milk to squirt into the baby's eye, which is infected with pink eye.
Ben: *eyeing the output (note:  he couldn't actually see anything, just the bottle sticking out from under my shirt)* "How does the store get gallons and gallons of milk?"
Me:  "Well, that milk comes from cows."
Ben: "From the cow's privates, just like your milk comes from your privates?"
Me:  "Uh, yes -- on cows it's called an udder.  It's underneath of them."
Ben:  "Oh yeah!  I know what you're talking about.  Boy and girl cows have udders."
Me:  "No, only girl cows have udders.  Only girls, cows and humans, make milk."
Ben:  "What do boy cows make?  Cheese?"
Me:  "No, cheese comes from milk."
Ben:  *thinking*  "So, boys don't make anything, huh?"
