My oldest calls it his "peanut" because he can't say it right. The younger one is rather fond of his as well.

My guess is that, as cool as my mom was for explaining it, that she was probably kind of squeamish about it, and I probably picked up on that. I had a friend who grew up in Ghana, and he said it was common for cousins to sleep in the same bed together as children and somewhat expected that they would participate in "sexual play" together. No one thought it was gross or wrong or weird. They just thought it was normal exploration. Here, my mom cringed when I told her that my 4-month old had recently discovered his p3n1s (leeted for your safety ;) ) and would delight in grabbing it whenever we changed his diaper. I thought it was a cool, normal thing. She said, "oh no!" "Oh no?," I thought. Why, "oh no?" Nothing wrong with that. He's just discovering he has a lifelong source of entertainment in his pants. ;) Hm...some day way down the road he might kill me for putting this out into cyberspace. But, oh well. ;) -d > That's generally my opinion about it as well... I suspect the "eww gross" response is largely a cultural affectation. Not necessarily harmful (or a symptom of harm), but I suspect kids don't have that response everywhere. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Archives: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/index.cfm?forumid=5 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/index.cfm?method=subscribe&forumid=5 Signup for the Fusion Authority news alert and keep up with the latest news in ColdFusion and related topics. http://www.fusionauthority.com/signup.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=89.70.5
