Vagina
[vah-ji´nah]
–noun
1. The area between a girl's legs.
2. The proper word. Not to be confused with vajayjay or any other made-up synonym thrown around by grown adults.
Origin:
Sometime around 2005. There comes a time in every young boy's life when they accuse their mother of having a penis. I acted like a responsible adult and explained that boys have a penis and girls have a vagina. End of discussion.
Popular Quotes:
Daycare Teacher (DT): "E had a hard time listening today. He also had to speak with K (the Director) after I heard him talking with his friends about a certain body part."
Me: "What? What part?"
DT: "Rhymes with China."
Me. "Vagina?"
DT: "Yes." (Editor's Note: Two points for me!)
Me: "What was he saying?"
DT: "He was playing tag and yelled it across the playground."
Me: "Ok. We'll discuss. Thank you."
Two minutes later...
Me: "Why in the world were you yelling vagina across the playground?"
E: "I don't understand why I'm in trouble. We were playing Chinese Freeze Tag and J didn't understand the rules. He needed to unfreeze L, so I told him to crawl under her vagina."
Me: "You yelled 'crawl under her vagina!' across the playground?! Come on, bub, you know better. Why didn't you tell him to crawl between her legs?"
E: "That would have worked, too."
(Editor's Note: I apologize in advance for any parents who were faced with questions about crawling under a vagina. Please don't label me as that Mom.)
oh dear... I can totally relate having a five year old boy and two year old girl. They are at that inquisitive age where it is on their mind and they want to know why its different on boys/girls, moms/dads, etc... I have been upfront with them about the proper words and we are still working on the functionality part. "why did God make them different, mom?" BTW... I look forward to your posts! They always make my day ;)
ReplyDeleteHis description wasn't inaccurate, as a parent of American children I would be more concerned with why they're playing CHINESE freeze tag, sounds like the bigger concern if you ask me.
ReplyDeleteCause that's what the games been called for at least the last thirty years....
ReplyDeleteThis is hysterical. I'm not looking forward to these conversations as my boy (2 years) and girl (9 months) get older. God help me!
