Private Parts

Recently i read a tweet from a Mom Blog about what names your children call their privates. I thought about it for a minute and thought...hmmm...I should ask my kids (4 and 5) They said: butt, boobies and then said daddy has a long hose like a fire hose coming out his butt and my 5 year old said we have a journal. LOL We had a LONG talk after that!!!!  I ended up telling them the real names, but told them we call all of them "privates".  What do you tell your kids?  I am so grateful they still don't care about how babies are made....yet.


According to a Squidoo article, here are some names..

 The Boys use:

 

Bird - um...don't see the correlation
Bits,  Dingaling, dobbers, doinker, dong, doodle,
family jewels- isn't this a bit too old for a young boy to say
frank (&beans)- now this is just getting cras
goods, jiggy,
johnston - johnston??? seriously?  wow.,
junk- junk?  What does that teach a young boy about loving himself if part of him is junk?
knob- does this encourage them to "turn it". :/
Mr. Winky- who is Mr. Winky and why are boys calling their private parts that?
noodle, package parts, peanut,
pecker - isn't this considered a slang, bad word like (c**t)
peepee, penis,
peter - what if the boys name is peter or his friend???
pickle - PLEASE can we stop relating food to privates!
stuff, tally whacker, thing,
twig (&berries)- again...KEEP NATURE OUT OF IT!!!  lol
wang, wee wee, weiner,
willy- again with the names!
winky,
zipfy- don't understand this one.

 The Girls use:  
bunny- bunny? It doesn't even look like a bunny!! Not sure about this one.
chi-chi, choo choo- that is what my girls call a train!
cooch, coochie- I was always taught these two words were slang...bad words
cookie - NO FOOD PLEASE
coolie- don't understand that.
fanny, flower-??
front bottom, fufu, gina (my girls have called theirs this before)
girlfriend- no no no no
girly parts,
hole- hole-??
hoo hoo, hoo ha, jo jo,
kitty kat - now that is confusing for a kid
kooter- another word I was taught was bad
lola - who is lola?
muffin, peach - ENOUGH WITH THE FOOD!
pipi, pooter- pooter? Doesn't that refer to the bottom area more? 
tee tee, vagina, va-j-jay, voovoo, vulva, what-not,
and last but not least...my friend's girls called theirs Chinas.

So I guess you can have your pick if you have not yet decided what to call your child's privates other than the anatomically correct name. lol
