> By the way, can you say 'penis'.
“Penis.” Oh yeah, I think I can!
> Aaack. I HATE that word, there are so many more friendly words. But apparently you supposed to teach your kids CORRECT terminology.
I don’t mind ‘penis’, but I hate the words for female genitalia. Nevertheless, I taught my daughter ‘vulva’. When she said it, no one knew what she meant. She calls it her flower now.
> I hate birds and bees stuff. I still call sex 'mating', talk about silly!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Tee hee. My eldest kid is very curious about sex, because I’ve been pregnant twice in short succession. When she was four, and I was pregnant with her brother, she asked me loudly in the middle of the supermarket: “Mommy, when gay men have sex, do they tie their penises together?”
That was a fun moment. I had a split second to decide how to explain gay sex to a four year-old… It made me realise how genitally-focused my explanation of straight sex had been…
