"Vagina" is a funny word. Almost as funny as 'penis'. But I always stumble over it - I mean the word. Va-gi-na. Women don't even use the word. I know one woman uses "Bushie", referring to George Bush. "Puss" is more personable, I guess.I say this all in the most respectful way, you understand. Since I have a daughter, I have to teach her what to call it, and it can't be "down there" - the name I cleverly created - all her life. One reason I think we get so screwed up is not calling things by the right name.
So here we go: A man has a 'penis'. A woman has a 'boom-ba'. Okay, I'll be honest, she's got a 'goo goo'. I don't know why this is so difficult. My daughter already calls it a 'gong-go'. But she calls everything in that area a 'gong-go'.
Please tell me this will pass.
My daughter also has major questions about why I can pee standing up. She automatically assumes it's a better deal. I didn't say anything, but who knows what she hears at the school. So I said, "No, you are lucky. You get to sit."
She goes, "When I grow up I'll be able to pee standing up"
I'll say to her quietly "Yes, that'd be interesting, I am sure mummy will teach you when the time comes"
I feel bad for women in general. They have to go through such a to-do list when they go to the bathroom. And they can't write their names in the snow without a lot of acrobatics.."
