sheesh indeed - what a hoohah to cause over a perfectly
valid word. Not even a crude or indecent one, but a
good medical word.

I pity that poor niece. When my niece asks me a question like that I
make sure she gets correct information in the answer.

I find it hard to believe that anyone old enough to frame the question would
not know what a vagina was. What did her mother say to her during toilet
training, I wonder? "Wipe your HOOHAA?" That's obscene!

Thoughts:
a) why should one not tell a child the appropriate word for a body part
b) I feel offended that my vagina is reduced to - of all things - a
hoohaa. What kind of f-ing word is that??? What's wrong with (my)
vagina?
c) and what do you tell your kid - or your grandma - when she asks what
a hoohaa is?

Kids ask what words mean all the time.

I wiped my peepee. But then, my peepee isn't my vagina.

I do remember trying to explain vagina to one girl just around puberty,
and was amazed to discover that she didn't know there was a second hole
down there. Just call me Little Explorer.

My dad was a biologist, and he thought I should learn the proper
terms for body parts and body functions, right from the start.
My kindergarten teacher told my mother that I was the only
five-year-old she had ever taught who "defecated and urinated."

I don't think I was greatly warped by the experience. Others
might disagree ...

I had to ask the other kids, "What's a pee-pee?"

I doubt she'd tell her to wipe her vagina, since it's her vulva she
should be wiping.

I think anybody who panics at ordinary words has a far bigger problem
than a kid who uses three-syllable words to describe going to the
bathroom. ;-)

A *Hoohaa*?? Who the hell came up with that one?!

Sheesh is right...

If her niece had to ask what one is, it's about time she found out.
Considering the niece was old enough to *read* the marquee, more than old
enough, considering she owns one!

I told my daughters "Wipe your vagina." I understand that technically
vagina is the "birth canal," but I do use the term to mean the basic unit
plus peripherals.

Very good point; I didn't even think of that. The complaint has a
disingenuous feel to it, either way.

OK, but that's not correct information.

It's not; but I think a lot of people use the term vagina rather
generically - to refer to the whole area.

I guess not, but it's better than woowoo, peepee, or hoohaa.

I read a book last year (don't even ask me to remember the title/author) but
the writer was criticising the use of the word *vagina* as a generic
referral to the vulva.She felt that society is conditioned to see the vulva
as a vulgar word (vulva=vulgar, see the resemblance)The critisism also
extended to the writer of the vagina monologues for also doing this.

Lots of people do lots of things. I prefer to use the correct
terminology with my niece.

LOL...When my Daughter was 4, I became pregnant with our third child and she
wanted to know how babies got in Mommy's tummy...so I told her there was a
special way that Daddy planted his seed..well that took care of that
question, then on day she saw a pig on TV giving birth...she looked at me
and said is that where babies come out of ...so I told her yes but my body
would stretch the vagina area(I would have said vaginal...but that would of
caused more questions and we were focused on this one thing) She asked if
it was messy and I then explained to her about the bag that protects the
baby, and how it would break before the baby was born so yes it would be
messy but the Midwife or Nurses would make sure it was cleaned up..well she
seemed happy with my answers. Anyways a few days later I took her and her
brother to daycare because I had a Dr's appointment. When I went to pick
them up one of the ladies came out of daycare and informed me that their 4
and 5 year old class had a lecture on how babies were made and how they were
born...it seems my daughter was the teacher...LOL...the day care lady asked
me if I minded if they gave my number to the irate parents that would be
calling...I said gee that's to bad..we don't have a phone We were in
England and at that time they had a long waiting list for phones. So from
then on when I explained something to my daughter that other parents might
not think their children were ready for I would tell her that the discussion
was just between her and me
