Family Jewels

If you know me, you know that I don't believe in teaching kids euphemisms for their body parts; it's anatomy, not some mysterious who-ha, tee-tee, wee-wee or pee-pee.

Lately Audrey has been exploring while sitting on the potty and asking, "what's that called?" 

I respond, "vagina" in the same plain-spoken way I talk to her brother about his body.

She's been repeating it back to me but for some reason it comes out as "my diamond." 

I've continued to say it correctly but I think she's adopted this title; it's been a few weeks.

Oddly, I'm ok with that.
