Re: Naming Private part

For all you moms who use the proper words

You pee from your urethra

Something really don't think could tell my daughter LOL

You don't pee from your vagina, sex, blood and birth for that hole

The tiny pee-pee hole is called an urethra.

*THIS* is why its harder to be technically correct with a girl. A boy's penis multi-tasks.

I also just say butt.. not "You poop from your anus and sit on your butt as a cushion for your hip bones"



Next up.. what we call the skin above and around the vagina and urethra.

But I like "privates" if it is covered by your underwear its your "Privates" and its meant to be kept PRIVATE!

Re: Naming Private part

We don't use proper names in our house. We refer to the penis as a "peesh" or "privates". I have no problem with teaching him the correct terms as he gets older, but I just have a very hard time using the words vagina and penis to describe a young child's body. They seem like such harsh words.

My DD always referred to her vagina as her "front butt" because to her, it looked the same as her butt, only in the front. Because she thought of her front as the butt too, when she did see a penis for the first time (little baby) she called it a "butt stick".

Naming Private part

Vagina=Front private
Butt=Back private
Breasts=Boobies

I don't have a problem using the real words and now that my DD is older (6) we use them more but when she was tiny we just used more cutesy words. Most that she came up with to be honest. I don't see an issue with it, I've never met a grown woman who still calls her vagina a "cootie" or a grown man refer to his penis as a "peesh-ka-dell".

In our house...................

Penis = peesh or peesh-ka-dell (according to DD "butt stick")

Vagina = cootie or coo-cha-a-lada (according to DD "front butt")

Re: Naming Private part

With Our 2.5 yr old son it's currently peeps, boobies and he has a chest. I have no prob with the correct terms which he will learn and use at some point in the future....
This post reminds me of a story my mom recently told me:
She's a pre-k classroom aide, and while the teacher was exploring words that end in -ad, they came to "pad"and she asked who knew what pad meant. A little girl shared with the class... "Yes, a pad is what my mom puts on her vagina". She's definitely well informed at 4! Lol

We were dyyyyyyyying when she said it. In her little head it just made so much sense to call it a "butt stick".

That is awesome! Butt stick. Amazing what they think! My DD said boys do pee pee out of their fire hole. (Meant Fire Hose I think). Where she got that from I have NO idea. Def not us.

Re: Naming Private part

We call it by the real names. Boys have a penis and girls have a vagina.

I use the real words
Dh avoids it
DS calls it his peepee
Dd calls it her little butt

My DD calls it her butt too. She thinks she has two butts. I have a hard time saying vagina and DH just won't say it and refers to it as her butt too.

Re: Naming Private part

We use vagina, tushie, and penis. It was actually pretty funny - the other day DD (3.5) was next to me when I was changing my DS's diaper and she said, "Mommy, (DS) has a big tushie!" I explained that was his penis, boys have a penis and girls have a vagina, and she didn't ask anything else. I answer whatever questions she has and leave it at that.

Re: Naming Private part

Glad this came back.. I mentioned it to my coworker who SWORE that there's only two holes. Only two. The anus and the vagina. She said "We do pee out of our vaginas its just a smaller hole but its connected" I explained it is not. I even offered to show her a diagram. She's 65yrs old. She said she still believes I'm wrong. Its just one hole other than the butt hole. I tried to explain you give birth through your vagina because your uterus is there. You can't pee because your bladder isn't there.

I said if you stick a tampon up there how do you pee? She tried to explain you DO stick a tampon up the pee hole. I explained the catheter and why its SEPARATE.

She *STILL* Doesn't believe me!

like ok.. science is funny like that I guess. *shrug*

I let it go cause what an interesting office topic right?

I've read that you're supposed to call them by their right names. No cutesy names. Something about shame or something, but I can't quite remember.
With that said...my DD knows the words vagina & breasts. I also call her vagina a "tutti" and my boobs "titties", so she knows those words too. I'm prob confusing the heck out of her.
