So my girls are at that age that they are curious about the opposite sex, which we all know is very normal. They ask a lot of questions, and some adults find it a little uncomfortable to contend with. Especially their father and two older brothers.
We all went to see the movie Toy Story 3 in 3D. We had a great time, as this was the girls first trip to the movie theater. To my surprize they did very well. Coda (Dakota) had a bit of a hard time watching the movie with the 3D. Apparently the whole 3D thing makes her sick to her stomach. Then we all made a big joke because my 12 year old step-son, Austin also can't deal with watching 3D as it makes him sick. Since both Coda and Austin are left handed, we were joking that the part of the brain that deals with 3D is not working in their brains.
We all left out of the movie theater with our left over soda and popcorn and walked to the car. Coda says to my 15 year old step son, "Dillon, your my brother right?"
Dillon responds, "of course Coda".
Coda says, "...and your a boy right?"
Dillon laughs, "yeah the last time I check I was."
Coda says, "then you have a penis!"
Dillon spit out his soda which came out of his nose as well. "Dude she just said..." Dillon looks at his dad in shock and points to Dakota.
Cher (Cherokee) walks up to Dillon and says, "...and I have a 'b'agina!" in her wonderful little speach impedament.
My husband chimes in, "yo! yo! chill with the words." Austin says, "Coda say wee wee, it sounds better."
We get into this big heated debate over the girls knowing and using the words penis and vagina.
All the males in the car voted it was "not normal to hear their "little sisters" or "baby girls" using such "adult" words. But are they? Is it because we as adults associate them in a sexual mannor and to make pretty baby words like "ho ho, peach, cookie, wee wee, bird" takes away from that sexual context?
I prefer the girls know the correct parts of their bodies as this is what they are. I want them to be able to explain things iin clear language, not baby talk. Everyone has their opinion on this and I do not judge those who do not agree with my thoughts, as their are many people who don't includng my very best friend. LOL. Your thoughts?
