Great post about keeping kids safe (stranger danger)

For instance, imagine taking him to a family resturant and asking a wiggling 6yo to "sit on your tushie, er, penis."

It makes me crazy to hear medical families using made up terms. DH has people come in all the time using made up words for their anatomy - its ridiculous. We are just general with our kids - vagina and penis, but for about six months, our youngest daughter would tell us every time she had a rash on her penis. She got SO mad if we corrected her!

Do you just use "vagina" as your over-all term?

We do just use "vagina" and "butt." Breaking it down any further was too confusing for an area they can't even see. We'll introduce other terms later, I assume.

We use technically correct terms, too. It was an interesting discussion when DS tried to convince me that his sister's have penises, too. Uh, no dice, dude. Then they'd be your brothers.
