I hear so many people use code words for vagina and penis when talking to their baby or child. I am always tempted to ask them why they do that. Why are parents so afraid to use the correct name for our "private parts". Do we really want our children to grow up thinking a vagina is a "hoo-hoo" and a penis is a "ding dong"? I think these teaches children to be embarrassed of their vagina or their penis and they should not be. Let's embrace the true words and call them what they are. We do not call an arm a "wee wee" so why should a vagina or penis be any different.
Embrace it!
Now that you have read this, you should feel a little bit better since I said vagina and penis quite a bit.
