Sheesh, at age 41 I *still* say "frontie" which is the Bruno family term for, well, for the girl parts... But I'm always impressed by those who can not only say those words themselves, but can teach them to there children. Strong work. Anatomically correct?

For what it's worth, we explained to the boys (at about Kate's age) that everyone has blueprints, and that parents get together and combine their blueprints to make babies. Of course, that is a Lego-construction driven perspective! We also started right off the bat with using accurate body words- no euphemisms for my straight-to-the-point husband. So this morning, Stephen refused to get dressed and was quite articulate in explaining that "my penis is poking my pants and it bothers me!" I kept a straight face long enough to get Phil in the room to explain that, yes, it happens in the mornings, and he'd best get used to it. :) Well, at least you’re planning to answer the question…unlike some prominent mothers and grandmothers-to-be!
