The wording is what makes it extra awesome...<br /><br />We use the real names in our house but we told the kids that when we are out in public to refer to it as their "business" (the same for both genders). I cannot tell you how many embarassing situations this has avoided, including but not limited to: "mom, can I touch his business?" "mom, tell Cubby to quit putting his business all over me" etc, you get the idea..... <br /> <br />Although, we were at the movie Happy Feet the other day and there is a scene with an elephant seal. When it was talking and it's nose was swinging all around, my 6 year old daughter shouted out "Mom, why does that thing have a penis on it's face?"Bekhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02421106490759593190noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13083972.post-16711446944020086512007-01-01T00:44:00.000-06:002007-01-01T00:44:00.000-06:00Very, very funny story Julie... and I see my Soup ...Very, very funny story Julie... and I see my Soup Nazi reference was already made by Kate!<br /><br />We taught my son the correct boy terms but let him figure out the girl stuff later on. My daughter, well, I was always hesitant to teach her correct terms because I knew she'd be fascinated and want to bandy them about in inappropriate places. Sure enough, after learning the correct terms a year ago, she chose to scream them in the racquetball courts on her way to gymnastics. Nothing like a ricocheting, echoing "Vulva!" or "Penis!"<br /><br />Hey, Happy New Year to you and yours!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10270726693980247861noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13083972.post-61070834434443372512006-12-31T16:43:00.000-06:002006-12-31T16:43:00.000-06:00Oh my god I just shot coke out my nose.Oh my god I just shot coke out my nose.Gidge Urizahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14879734082487890329noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13083972.post-27640023256160485992006-12-31T14:49:00.000-06:002006-12-31T14:49:00.000-06:00I read a lot of blogs, so I try to exercise some d...I read a lot of blogs, so I try to exercise some discretion about the funny stories that get passed on to hubby.

My youngest daughter's best friend is her boy cousin and they spend a lot of time watching each other pee (they're three, so it's extra fascinating). We're also not a modest, Mom and Dad must only be clothed in front of the children kind of family. So, my daughter enjoys telling her aunt that *her* daddy has a *very big penis.* Oy! As long as she doesn't say that to the neighbors .....<br /><br />Also? size is all relative to a three year old .........Gwenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12526629366170486737noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13083972.post-71373237676673996232006-12-30T16:51:00.000-06:002006-12-30T16:51:00.000-06:00Amanda, LOL, no worries.

I had to disable the weird letter codes to make commenting possible, and can't tell you how many times I've lost comments due to bbeta vs. nonbeta login issues. UGH!<br /><br />Anyway...hilarious story!<br /><br />We were Very Honest and when our daughter noticed anatomical differences, we explained.

We settled on vulva and now Miss M is obsessed with diaper rash cream that she requests all the time as "VULVA CWEEM, VULVA CWEEM."
