When the peapod squad came along, hubby and I briefly addressed the whole decision about what to call their private parts. You know…do we call them cute “kid” words or do we use their proper anatomical names? At the time we both seemed weirded out by the entire convo, so we never really came to a consensus. We defaulted to the very generic “boy privates” and “girl privates.” Yeah, I know…pretty lame.
Until tonight.
While hubby was washing Split Pea’s hair in the bathtub, Split asked what its “real name” was. So…hubby gave him the word.
The rest of the night was fairly entertaining here at Nana and Pop’s.
Split: Mom, do you spell it p-e-e-n-i-s?
Me: No, there’s only one “e.”
Snap: I’m going to tell my teachers I know how to spell it!
Me: No, that’s really not necessary.
Sweet: (whilst skipping through the kitchen repeating the word) It’s such a cute word, isn’t it Nana?
Hubs: (groaning quite audibly) I can’t wait to take them to church tomorrow.
Me: Well, I guess I know what we’re calling it now.
I suppose I’ll have to enjoy a similar talk with Sweet Pea, who hasn’t been jealous about not having one until she knew its “cute” name.
