I have always been completely honest and open with my kids when it comes to our bodies. I never made up "cutesy" names for various gender specific body parts. I never had "the sex talk" with my kids because they have always been told about sex. (Age appropriate over the years, of course) They knew they had a penis and testicles or a vagina...and that's what they called it.
They have always come to me for health question and today I had my daughter in stitches. She thinks that she has a UTI and asked me what it actually is and how you get it. My response was:
"Actually what happens is you get bacteria in your Urethra, which is the tubey-looking thing that you pee out of in your Vajayjay. A lot of women get them from taking frequent baths, sex, not emptying their bladder completely when they pee. You can get 'em from wiping your butt the wrong way and getting poo around your Vajayjay. Then bacteria gets all up in your Figgy-Puddin."
Hey, the info was accurate. I just chose a different way of presenting it.
