Vagina

Parents young and old:
I grew up an American. I remember being ashamed of the idea of masturbation until I was married and discovered that some times you have to rub one out or you’re in for a bad night. FYI ladies, blue balls is a real thing and it isn’t fun. As an American, and a Texan no less, I know how prudish we can be. Do everyone a favor and teach your children the correct terms for their private areas. There is nothing wrong with the words vagina or penis.
You know how easy it is for a teacher to misunderstand if a five year old tells her “Billy touched my cookie” rather than “Billy touched my vagina”? Which one raises an instant warning flag? In a classroom of forty students, an outcry when all forty students have a different cute word for their no-no zone takes too long to register.
Don’t treat the words as taboo words. Don’t giggle when they say them. You aren’t a bad parent because your child knows the correct term for their reproductive organs. Honest discourse is the heart of an open and honest family.
