Five parents said they were embarrassed by questions their children had asked. Ahem. Okay. So why are these parents unable to say the word "penis" to their kids? Maybe it's because I have 3 boys, but I'd like to think that if I had a daughter, I'd handle body-part education the same way. We start with the proper names and, once they reach school age and start learning the slang, I inform them of the slang information and remind them of the proper terminology. This is not embarassing - kids really can handle it if it's done in a matter-of-fact way (like teaching them about their arms, legs, etc.). Sheesh, folks! What will you do with your kids as teens if you cannot talk to them while they're little???

But then you will have to explain to the kids why a frog was drawn with a penis when they don't have penises. What would you say if Disney artists gave Donald Duck a penis?
