To call it a vulva?

[elephantsinlove]

Baby DD is not yet at the stage where she calls it anything, but the time is approaching and she will soon start learning words etc, I have been wondering what to teach her to call it - I know that vulva is the correct term.

Then again, a lot of people use bits/front bottom/fanny/foof/lala/ various other cutesy or vaguely teletubby sounding names

What is it called in your house?

Is she going to be the weird kid if I teach her it's her vulva? I tend to (technically incorrectly I know) use vagina myself, or various comedy words in general chat as vulva seems a bit odd but perhaps something I just need to get over!

I'd honestly never heard of 'tuppence' until Mumsnet

Just asked DH and he asked if it was something to do with Mary Poppins.

I honestly didn’t think it was cutesy.......is it? Oh dear.

I’m going to have to change it. Easy enough I suppose she’s only 3......

Vulva. I point naming something twice!

*No point

Definitely.

I just asked primary school teacher DH if he knew what tuppence meant and he didn't have a clue.

I always referred to it as a Ginny to my daughter's.
We still call it a Ginny now and they're adults.

Ds5 has just been discussing why boys have 'tentacles' and girls don't.
I said men have testicles and women don't.
Since when is that a thing? He asked..
I said boys don't have boobs just women.
Why does df have boobs then? He asked.

Dh goes to say goodnight.
Ds says How's your testicles hanging df?
Being economical with the truth is sometimes less stressful!!
