Jack: Ashley said Va-Jean-no today at school.
Me: What is a Va-Jean-no? (Knowing full well he was referring to the va-jay-jay)
Jack: I don't know. I was hoping you would.
Me: Hmmm...I have never heard the word Va-Jean-no before.
Jack: Me neither.
Me: Did Ashley get in trouble?
Jack: Ms. Deb said we don't say that.
Me: It was probably because she was talking nonsense.
Jack: No, we are allowed to talk nonsense at school even though you and daddy don't like it.
He is only five! Does he really need to know what a vagina is? Is he going to be the laughing stock of kindergarten if he doesn't know? He is aware of the word 'penis', but we really haven't used the word vagina in our house. Lauren still refers to her whole area as her "bottom" or her "poopoo" and I am fine with that. Is it time to give Jack an anatomy lesson or is he still too young?

Well, Madeline just turned 5 and she doesn't know what a penis is. Although if we end up having a boy baby I think I am going to explain it to her before the baby comes. If we have another girl, I may wait a while longer to explain it. But I am guessing 5-6 is the age where they start wondering what are the real differences in a boy and girl.
Oh boy! We call our girls' "stuff" their private parts. I mean, really, there is a lot more than a vagina down there, you know?
Jordan calls it her "in between" i never coached her on it...it's just what she calls it, i guess because it is in between her legs.
her friend said vagina once and she said, "look we all know we have one but that word is so gross, can we call it something else?" her friend said, "yeah let's just call it Jane for short" Jordan just shook her head and said, "whatever!"
i looooove pretending that i am not listening...i hear lots of good stuff!
yea...Jack will survive kindergarten not knowing what a vagina is.
