The 3 yr old reminded me of something today.
Growing up, we used the word "business" for our private parts. Don't know why, but we did. We also use the word "business" here in our house when referring to private parts. I KNOW they say you should use the proper words from the get-go but honestly, I still blush a little when I have to use technical terms...geez.
I guess you could say it has backfired. In years past we have gotten "the look" from the oldest after she's heard such phrases/terms as (whether in conversation or on tv) :
"None of your business."
"Keep your nose out of her business."
(the 3 yr old thinks this is hilarious. "Ewwww Mommy!")
"Monkey business."
"Business license."
"Small business."
And the the one that got us the biggest WTH? look from our dear daughter a few years back...
"Business partners."
(Yep, I've become quite a good subject changer.)

That's really cute!
We do use the proper words and it is sometimes weird. I am reminded of one day when we were walking home from school and the whole conversation was about who does and does not have a penis.
And I live right next to the school, so I have to walk through my neighborhood talking about penises (penii?).
LMAO! My fave is "business partners"...lol.
I think you qualify for a degree in business.
Monkey business is my favorite. Er wait, that sounded wrong......
LMAO off at the song you have playing!
I think you need a new word for it. "business partners" LOL
For the longest time Noah called his part his "peanuts".
There's no business like show business!
Do you have a business degree? ROFL!
I'm laughing soo hard right now...because as your house- we have the same issue in our house. We were watching TV and USA was advertising "Risky Business" one ours said " what does risky mean" of course the oldest know it all (not me- the other oldest) said "it's something dangerous"
of couse the next look on all their faces was priceless...
ROFL!!! "Business" I won't even tell you what the private areas were reffered to in my house growing up!
I seriously think you have the funniest blog in the world. Part of me wants to be a fly on the wall in your house!

Oh shoot. Too funny. Don't ever let her hear the description of a Mullet... Business up front Party in the back. Now how bloomin confusing would THAT be.

LMAO!!!!! My 12 year old is learning about the reproductive system at school, so the other day, he informed me that men produce sperm their whole lives. (In case I wanted to know......) He is so chockful of info these days........yippee.
ok I love that story...that's hilarious!
Where are you?? Hope you're doing ok!!
Chi-chi and ta-tas were my preferred terms but my daughter who is 6 going on 84 decided she would use the technical terms that she read in a medical journal somewhere... It kind of creeped me out.
