Thou shalt keep thy penis stories in your pants

Saw this curious tidbit on Page 6 yesterday:

SIZING UP DADDY

April 20, 2009 --

NEVER let it be said that Michael Lewis spares himself from his keen reporting. In his new memoir of fatherhood, "Home Game," he writes that when he was dropping off his daughter at day care, the teachers giggled at him for no appar ent reason. He asked his wife, Tabitha Soren, why they were laughing and she mumbled, "Er, it's about your penis." Lewis' dogged reporting uncovered the grim facts: His toddler daughter, who had a habit of peeking on him in the shower, liked to blurt out to everyone at day care, "Daddy has a small penis!


Should I ever write a book on fatherhood, I would make it my mission to exclude any tales that include the words "my penis" and "my daughter." Besides, doesn't Mr. Lewis know how to close a bathroom door? (or use a shower curtain?)

Curious stuff.

A presto,

The irony is, of course, that Lewis is credited with popularizing the term "BSD" (Big Swinging Dick for those of you who never read Liar's Poker or worked in a financial institution. Note: If you have done the latter but not the former, you are probably the reason the economy is more brutally fucked than Asher Roth if he shows up to the Source Awards.
