So, Jaxon just found…it.
You know. His bits.
He was in the bath and out of no where, for the first time ever, he just reaches down and touches it.
He was all like “whoa…what’s this? Mum, check this out! Quick…look, what do you think it is?” and I was all like “whoa, what the hell do I say?”
It’s all simple when he’s touching or poking at another part of his body. When he found his belly button I simply said “that’s your belly button” and when he found his nose, I told him exactly what that there thing on his face was.
But I must admit that I was a little bit lost for words when it came to this particular subject and my 21 month old son.
Do I say penis? Doodle? Dick? Big fella?
What is considered PC these days???
What do YOU say?? Consider this a survey of sorts.
With Zac we called it his bippy. I don’t know what we’ll use for Jax.
Chuck’s is Woody.
I don’t know what’s PC, anything has to be better than what my mom called my brother’s . . . his JOLLYWHACKER.
We just went straight for the clinical “penis”. Although sometimes Dave calls Jamie’s a “pickle”. We have more trouble identifying the girl bits. Do you call it a vagina? Technically the part on the outside that you see is the vulva, but that word bothers me. I guess I could always go with Aunt Debbie’s term, “lily” – As in “wipe the dew off your lily.” (rolls eyes)
Mary Beth, we call Melody’s her “tee tee.” I got that from someone else on BF. It worked a lot better than “girly parts” lol.
Back in grade school, the boys had a hot dog and the girls had a taco. I don’t think this will help you Boo.
Joel calls his a Willi or Penis, Charlotte calls her a Flum god knows where that came from but its funny.
