Oh Sweetie, you're way more than a shilling. You're at least a shilling and a half.

Well I used to call my sons parts his Birdie. Now he tells me how gay I was for doing that. My older sister was really into montessouri and progrssive hands on learning. So of course she wouldn't let her kids use any anything but the anatomically correct words. Having been in a store onetime with my nephew when he needed to pee and also let everyone know where it was coming out of, I swore that I didn't care if my kids didn't know the correct name for any of their body parts, I wasn't ever going to be that embarassed again! To this day.....well nevermind. I was going to tell you what my kids think there butt is but I'll leave that for another time!
