How could I not share a recent conversation had in my car?
Miss Ky from her car seat in the back: "I don't have a willy Mom."
I wince. I hate that word. It's the word my kids learned on the playground for a body part that I don't feel we need to nickname. I've always been very open with my kids when they ask, and believe me, I never told them the word "willy". In fact, that word really messes with my saying, "You're a silly willy". Whole. new. context.
Me: "No, sweetie, you don't"
Her: "I have a ba-jI-na"
Oh dear. Someone's been building his sister's vocabulary.
My face hurts. I've been laughing.

Ohmygosh!
ReplyDeleteToo funny!!!!!!!!!!! Thank you for sharing this hun!!
That is too cute!
ReplyDeleteOh yeah, out of the mouths of babes, especially when they've been exposed to the playground and school!
ReplyDeleteWe've been trying to curtail the use of the word, "nuts." Just a yucky word. I bet your daughter knows a few more words, too. They are full of knowledge, aren't they?
ReplyDeleteOh noooo!!! LOL!! That is priceless.
ReplyDeleteHahaha!!! Too funny.
ReplyDeleteI'm all for using the correct words too. Sounds much better to my ears.
Love it!
ReplyDeletethat's hilarious!
ReplyDeleteA precious moment for sure!!
ReplyDeleteLike the title of the show states, kids say the darndest things.
ReplyDeleteWell isn't she precious! Bwahahaha! Technical term for one and not for another, eh? :)
ReplyDeleteLOL so funny. I can just hear her cute little voice saying that word.
ReplyDeletePerhaps a convo with your son is in order.
How about wee willy winky, who ran through the town? Kind of makes me wonder what mother goose was thinking?!?!?!
They grow up so quickly these days. Where has her childhood gone?
ReplyDeletewe're big on using the right words around here, too
ReplyDeleteToo funny! We've tried not to use euphanisms around here either.
ReplyDeletebwahahahaha we have totally had that same conversation here... except with the word "weeny". lovely.
ReplyDeleteOh, my gosh. Our kids really know how to say what is on their minds! :) too sweet and too funny!
ReplyDeleteSending you a mom hug for the days you wish you had done better :)!
And..."weiner" when asking about new brother's foreign-to-us body part. I am also one who would prefer to just use the given name since it already has one. WHy rename it...the given one really isn't so bad! So familiar!!! :)
ReplyDeleteI have issues hearing little kids using that term. Heck, I have issues hearing myself use that term. We subscribe to the "don't ask, don't talk about it" policy.
ReplyDeleteOh I had this conversation just yesterday - why is it so hard to find words for all our bits and pieces?? I have to say, I don't mind willy - not that we use it much in this house anyway seeing as we have two girls...but gilrs parts are the hardest - don't you think??
ReplyDeleteAt least she didn't call it a who-ha! hehe!
ReplyDeleteOh, my...children say the darn-dest things...Were you able to keep a straight face? I would have had trouble...I've seen you around...but never had an excuse to pop by...thanks so much for visiting my blog today...your kind and compassionate words meant so much to me...and I'm so glad you led me here...my husband and I lived in Surrey for 2 years... Loved GB! We were not military, and had to make our own way on the economy...British salaries...had it not been for the high cost of living, I think we would have settled in permanently...I am envious of your adventures ;-)So very glad to meet you! Your blog is beautiful! Cheers! Janine XO
ReplyDeleteBajina sounds like she's been exposed to a Hispanic language speaker. The V is often exchanged for a B.
ReplyDeleteI agree with "willy," what a stupid nickname.
Ciao,

one of my pet peeve words for a body part is fanny. i hate that word. don't ask me why.
ReplyDeletei love when kids mutilate words. it's so cute!!
xoxoxo
You don't even want to know...but I'll tell you. My son in the tub...Look mom, it's disappeared, reappeared, disappeared, reappeared...huh...it's growing.
ReplyDeletegroan!
Isn't anatomy fun (and confusing). I finally got my five year old daughter to stop talking about the time someone kicked her in the nuts.
ReplyDeleteWe had a similar problem having lived in the UK. My six-year-old son refers to his "wellies" as his "willies".
ReplyDelete"I need my willies", he would say. Sheesh.
What a smart little whipper snapper!!
ReplyDeleteWhen my oldest was her age she stated..."When I am older, I am going to marry the boy over there and we will kiss and make babies!" WT??? How?? Hubby says.."this ones in your court!"
Am I forgotten??
