Fingers?

There were a lot of things I knew I was in store for when it came to parenting a toddler.  The scraped knees, the hurt feelings, the teaching of ABCs, the potty training.  Naming the private parts?  Hmmm, a question a lot of parents grapple with.  From day 1, do we just go "balls out" (so to speak) and use the proper terms to desensitize and not make it a big deal?  Do we use cutesy names so when the kid blurts out something about their "who-ha" in the middle of the store, you're not embarrassed?  Guess what?  You'll still get embarrassed.  We, along with everyone else, wondered what to do.  A spur of the moment decision and in our house, they became "girl parts and boy parts".  Seemed to work for a while, but now I'm faced with an inquisitive child that has also been blessed with the gift of gab and is in the "fascinated with body parts" stage.  I know she'll eventually outgrow it, but sometimes I think about how much more pleasant it would sound if we had named them something else...like, say, fingers?    Then, all I'd hear is, "Mom, Adam's playing with his fingers again.  My panties keep getting stuck in my fingers, but I pulled them out.  Would you want to eat chicken fingers? (OK, maybe that could be a confusing question, but replace "girly parts" for fingers and you'll know what I heard the other day).  Mom, I like to look at my fingers and make sure every thing's still there..."  See, life would be so much less embarrassing, at least until she opened her mouth again.  Ahh, life with a kid.
