Yeah, they can always find a way to embarrass us.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I just could never do the anatomically correct thing. When I was a teen, my best friend's toddler brother used all the proper names. When he had to go, he'd shout "Mommy! I have to DEFECATE!!!!" &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;We say butt, poopy, peepee, poot, winky and tinky. I guess if our kids are gonna embarrass us, at least they'll be cute.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;As for "upper tummy", we always said nipples when we referred to them on the kids. Nobody even thought of mentioning mine until one of my girls suddenly shouted in a restaurant: "Mommy! Why do you have big nipples?!!!" Yep.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;If there's any good news, it's that you spend the first 11 years with them embarrassing YOU, and then the rest until they're parents embarrassing THEM.
