Boy/Girl Anatomy - Ack! They are asking!!!
Well, at least you can say "penis", LOL, I'm even uncomfortable with
that! My guys are stilla little young, but I admit to being a horrible mother and refer to both areas on my b/g twins a "pee pee". Sorry! I'm anxious to hear what other posters say.

Not answering your question but funny...........
my 4 year old boys once saw me with a tampon. They already know that girls don't have penises and mommy is a girl. I realized that they didn't really understand until one day after they saw the tampon they told my dh that "mommy's penis broke" Silly boys. LOL |

"Kender" wrote in message news:5JnCc.165390$Ly.13342@attbi_s01... Not sure about all those terms for 'down there' but as for the chest part we've always called them breasts or (I hate to admit) boobies. Boys and girls both have them. I often ask Evan where his boobies are. I guess nipples would really apply but hey. Girl's breasts are bigger because they store and use them for milk eventually when they have babies. I haven't gotten into the what if they don't have babies etc but I guess the description is still the same except they never fill up with milk. Charlie has known for over a year now that he pees from him penis. Around that same time, also asked what Jenna had. So, we've just always kept it simple by saying that "Boys have penises, and girls don't." He was always satisfied with that answer. Then she started asking too, and we told her the same thing. Pretty satisfied. Then it was "Do you have a penis, Mommy?" "No, Mommy is a girl, so no penis." Satisfied. Recently, Jenna has become frustrated with that answer and wants more specifics. She'll say "No, Mommy... what is it (pointing to herself) *called*?" What I've done is have my girls sit down, and I'll move their fingers to point to various parts of their own anatomy. "This is your vagina. This is where babies come out. It's also where mommy bleeds every month, and that's normal, every woman does that. This is your urethra. This is where your pee comes out. This is your anus, it's where your poop comes out. After you touch, you have to wash with soap and water, because although your private parts are yours, and they're your own germs, you don't want to get those germs in your face. These are your private parts. You may touch them if you like, but do it in private, nobody needs to see that. Nobody else is allowed to touch them except mommy or daddy if you ask because something hurts, or the doctor at an appointment if mommy or daddy is there." Very straightforward. They've seen daddy without clothes on, and they know that daddies (and by extension all boys) have penises. They don't find this too remarkable or even very interesting. But they have no brothers to compare bits with, so I've never really had to answer little boy questions. --angela |

I call breasts 'nursies' when referring to nursing the baby, and 'breasts' when being more anatomical. My daughters, who were all breastfed or breastmilk fed, still insist on feeding their dollies with bottles "because I don't have any milk in my nursies, mommy." --angela |
