sooo my 4 year old came home and said his friend (we will call him jim) hit him in the nuts. my boys were raised to call them by the anatomical name..lol but somehow it bloomed into weiners and nuts... Do you let your kids get away with naming thier "parts" or do you keep recorrecting them.. I for one can't keep a straight face when correcting.. I know I'm just as bad as my boys.

nards, but, my DS is older. When he was younger, he learned that they are testicles, and then called them "nuts", now we have worked our way up to nards. DH calls them bubble gum, and the whole package is "franks and beans"....it's a work thing, they have many colorful names for it.

At my son's school physical, age 5 or so, the doctor wanted to examine him down there... he said "there's nuts in there"... I think even the doctor laughed for a minute... "Yep, there sure are..."

Penis, testicles and scrotum. From the time they could talk all of my children (boys and girl) were taught the real name of their body parts.

I use to call my DS penis a bird because my cousin's mom called his that. Now that he has an older step-brother, he now calls them his nuts. He is 6 BTW.

Got two boys here and... they call it / them:

Oldest: 'his stuff'

Youngest; Worm and balls

And I will not type what my hubby calls it, lol.....

I can't believe I am even going to type this, but we call them a pee-pee and raisins. That is all DH's fault, he started that when DS was little and it has stuck ever since.

I just don't like how a 4 year old saying penis or vagina sounds, I don't know call me old fashioned, but pee pee sounds so much more innocent. I didn't get a vagina until I got my period.

Well in this mostly male household it's penis and balls.

Lets see it started out as pee pee and has turned into these through the years.

"Junk"
"D**K" - They get in trouble for this one. I don't like it at all.
"Snake" - Their dreaming. LOL
"Weenie
"Balls"
"Nuts"
"Penis"

I have always used the correct names with my DS and DD. They have used them as well, until recently. My son, now a middle schooler, picked up the "slang" words and has passed them along to his little sister.
Ding-a-ling, d**k, and nuts.

I hate that, but whatcha gonna do?!
Still using the correct words for the girl parts!

We've done the same thing in our household. Always worked very well, with the exception of one embarrasing moment for mama. DS had learned boys and girls are different, so he opted at age three, to voice that fact very loudly one day. As we walked across a parking lot, he saw an older woman and cheerfully shouted out, "I'll bet SHE doesn't have a penis!"

I will be forever thankful to that woman for completely ignoring us and just walking straight ahead.

We started off calling them the proper names (testicles and penis), but unfortunately we are not his only influence in life. He now calls them his balls and pee-thingy, and I have stop correcting him. I really don't see the harm in it since they aren't vulgar to me, and its not demeaning. JMO

I have a boy and a girl, and they've always known the proper terms. My son, when he was smaller, used to say 'bee-gina' and everyone around him would crack up.

My DH started calling it turtle, and my BF's boy call it a pickle. Her twins are 8 and still call it a pickle. I've never heard them call it a penis, ever. My son is 9 and doesn't think it's cool to use nicknames for it anymore, but he does say balls. Don't know why it's not ok to use a nickname for his penis, but it is ok to use one for his testicles.

My son is almost 8 and says "his private parts"

It's pee-pee, privates and balls here.

I agree and it's the same here - we have 2 girls and we always used the correct terms. They still do for themselves but boys have become nuts, balls, etc. They picked it up from the boys at school.

I remember when youngest dd was little and she couldn't remember the term and called it, "daddy's hangy downy thingy!"

No, it wasn't the hexed disposal, drawing me into its gnashing metal
teeth. It was our new kitty, who discovered the fascinating dangling
objects she spied hanging between my legs. She had been poised around the
corner and stalked me as I reached under the sink. And, at the precise
moment when I was most vulnerable, she leapt at the toys I unwittingly
offered and snagged them with her needle-like claws. I lost all rational

My 10 year old knows the correct name, but calls it his "weenie" and "sack" or "nuggets".

We have taught all of the kids the proper names, but for the ones who are in school that has completely gone out the window.....now the boys love the word "nuts" and "balls" the get embarrased or turn red if they hear the word Penis, but then for some reason so does my DH! LOL! There are worse things they could be calling them so I don't complain.....

O-H-I-O

here we call it the private area or the junk. take your pick!

we call ds his penis...he hasn't really figured out that he has balls yet...he's 3.
funny story:
my son loves the little piggies story. In fact, we recited it so often that his toes are his "wee-wees" (you know...this little piggie went to the market...this little piggie stayed home...this little piggie had roast beef...this little piggie had none...but this little piggie went wee-wee-wee all the way home...and then you tickle them profusely!) so he was horsing around with my bil and he said in his ornery voice "I'm gonna get your wee-wees" and my bil looked at me and said what the he11 have you been teaching that child? I was laughing too hard to let him know he was referring to his toes not his penis! LOL

flipper113,

I'm with you about not liking my younger ones using the correct words for penis and vagina. For some unknown reason, the boys used to call their priviate part a "Peepers". We still use that word for my youngest.

The funny thing is that when the boys first heard that song "Jeepers, Creepers, where'd you get those PEEPERS", they cracked up so hard. "Mom, mom, Michael's mom was singing this song about PEEPERS!"

We still laugh everytime we hear that song.

6 yr old says "pee pee" or "private area"

"Private"
"crotch"
"penis"
"balls"
"nuts"

:O)

When my son was small it was his winkie and who whos. Not sure how he got those names but that is what he called them.

Funny story:

My husbands parants took us all out one night to a very nice resteraunt. One where you actually get to wear you pretty cocktail dress that sits in the closet.

Anyways my son was about 5 at the time and we were all at the dinner table when he loudly proclaims
" My intesticles hurt" All we could do is say huh? He was trying to be grown up and must have heard the word intestines and testicles at some point and decided to combine the words to tell us his tummy hurt lol. Everyone at the tables around us were chuckling under their breath and some had very red faces lol.

Same here. We pretty much stick to the anatomy My bother, on the other hand, can't deal with it so they say "Johnson."

I think it's funny thet Oprah has to say "va-jay-jay".

Penis, scrotum and "privates" here!

Well, my son is almost 3 and we call it "birdie" I never refer to it as yuck "penis or d**k" I just don't think it sounds nice. But I guess thats just because of how I was brought up, we weren't even allowed to say fart we had to say fluff. My girls privates are their "butterfly"

Well, I did have my son call them by the normal words. But, he is 11 now and made his own.
His penis is either a tinkler or rain maker
His testicles, well, usually he calls them his nutsor balls, but has called them his jigglers.

I don't have any little boys, but y'all have me laughing SO hard!!

When I was little for boys:

pee pee, wee wee or weinie.

Girls:

who-ha
who-who

(when older):
ya-ya
cooter
schmoo

My 6 year old call's it "his peanut" & "balls" My older son 11 years old call's it the real names. When my daughter was younger she called her's "China"

I have four boys-from ages 5-16. You name it, it's been called that. I still say "winky" when I talk to the younger boys. DH taught them all "penis and testicles" from the get-go, but it all goes downhill fast in a house of boys!

wee wee and doesn't ecen refer to the parts

I have 4 "boys" 3 of them are my sons 11,14&16 and the other is dh-you can only imagine the"butt humor"
and otherwise that has gone on in our house. We tried when they were young starting out with the"appropriate" terms,penis,bottom,privates,but as time went on and they got older & exposed to others(no,not that kind of exposed) they came up with all kinds of fun terms. My husband would refer to it as "Jim and the twins" or "anaconda". I've heard everything from "monster" "one-eyed monk" "purple helmet"
to "my unit". Don't know why,but they are all hysterically funny. Throw in my 6 nephews 7 brother & brother-in-law and their creativityand you can only imagine. That gets me to thinking about another topic of making up funny names. My middle son comes up with some real doozies-for instance: Mr. Hugh Jass, to which my nephew( 18)countered with his own Mr. Dane Glesack-took me awhile to get that one(for those challenged-dangley sack)Does anyone else out there have any funny names?

My friend calls her daughter's parts her "pocketbook".

4th of July at a pool party my nephew was accidentally kicked in his hanging ovaries and every one about fell out of there seat! It's hard not to laugh...(at what kids say sometimes

Peterbug-- it is a nurse thing.

I'm asking my boys this question right now. They are 18 and 13 (going on 21). You may not be ready for their answers: c*ck, d*ck, balls, twigs and berries, nads, cojones, sac, jewels, stuff....ok, i have to stop them! They took my question as permission to say whatever they wanted. Game over! LOL

So timely. I recently shared w/my 15yo DD as many of the the slang terms for the male (and female, but she was mostly interested in male sex organ terms) sex organ terms that I could remember
We've always used the anatomically correct terms ( penis, vagina, etc.) but when your kids have outside influences, it all goes to hell in a handbasket.
My DD, when I recently gave her a list of all the slang terms for penis, cracked up the most at the term *trouser snake*.
And, mais oui, she made sure to tell her two younger sibs (ds & dd, both 13 yo) the things I'd told her. Made for some very interesting, and at times boring, conversations here ;-)
At least they'll understand why some jokes are gross, I can only hope.
15yo DD recently told me about the pickle thing, said she'd heard that term since 2nd grade! This shocked me. She told me boys would say *I'll give you a nickel if you kiss my pickle*. She had no idea at that time what it was about, was grossed out in a major way when she figured it out.
