To think Because I got nipples is not a valid reason

DD has developed a fascination with nipples. I try to acknowledge her but not make a big deal of it when she talks about them. I'm quite used to these little phases but this one... It's like she's trying to humiliate me.
We walk down the street and she's shouting 'he's got nipples!', the postman knocks and she asks 'have you got nipples?', she announces to the supermarket cashier 'mummy's got nipples!'. And the new one is using them as an excuse not to cooperate.
So far today; she won't go to nursery, won't keep her nappy on and won't eat her dinner... Because she's got nipples.
What am I doing wrong?

My bil, who is German, says 'apples' like 'nipples' with an 'a'. Me and sis regularly manufacture conversations to make him say it Grin

My son went through a phase of telling everyone where tampons were inserted. Hmm

ohflip she will :) my DD keeps pulling up my skirts/dresses to have a look and points at DP's willy when he's in the bath or tries to pull his towel off when he's out of the bath. We want her to have a healthy attitude so I refuse to do a big cover up like those body parts are something to be hidden or embarrassed by.

eyebrow my niece went through a phase of telling everyone I'm a lesbian, I'm not, and I don't know where it started think someone at school must've talked about it.
