Gimme a "V" ... and a Grilled Grandma

Kids say the darnedest things. That we all know. Despite the cliche, it's still rather funny when wacky words unexpectedly come out of the mouths of little ones.

Well, this week's Grilled Grandma, Bernice, tells a funny tale about the darnedest things her young granddaughters say. In public. Much to their mother's chagrin. Here's her story:

Describe a recent time that one (or more) of your grandchildren made you laugh out loud. My oldest daughter teaches her kids to use anatomically correct terms for their body parts. My 2- and 3-year-old granddaughters love the fact that yelling v-a-g-i-n-a in public gets lots of attention from other people! My daughter just tries to ignore it, otherwise they'll yell all the louder!

I have to say, I think this is the first time the V-word has been used in a Grilled Grandma feature. Actually, I think it's the first time it's been used at all on Grandma's Briefs. What's up with that? I just may have to remedy that somehow.

For now, though, you can get more from the mouths of babes -- and from Bernice -- by reading Grilled Grandma: Bernice. Enjoy!

Today's question:

Did you or do you teach the children in your life to use anatomically correct terms when referring to body parts, or did/do you have nicknames?
