Our three children take a communal bath. It’s easier, especially considering the me-first attitude that is running rampant around here these days.
So as I’m drying my daughter she’s clowning around, as usual, and suddenly looks down and shouts, “HEY, WHERE’S MY PEANUTS?”
Peanuts?
Then she grabs herself, ahem, you know where and says it again. “Where’s my peanuts? [Baby Boy] has a peanuts! Where’s mine?”
It took a few moments to compose myself, especially after I dressed her in underwear and she took off doing her usual “I’M TARZAN AAAaaaAAAW!” yell and prerequisite banging of bare chest, interspersed with looking between her legs for her peanuts.
Me: “Say pe-nis.”
Girl: “Peanuts.”
The 4.5 year old is giggling hysterically providing the background to the conversation which goes something like this, Boy: “She said peanuts! Hahahahaha! She called it peanuts! I’ve got peanuts! I’ve got a weiner! I’ve got a nay-nay! (He got that one at school.)
After futiley hushing the older child, Me: “No. Listen. Pee-nisss”
Girl: “Peenith.”
Me: “Close enough. You don’t have a penis. Girls have vaginas. Say Va-gih-na.”
Girl: “China.”
Me, trying not to giggle: “Vah-gih-na.”
Girl: “Bachina!”
By now my husband has left the room laughing hysterically. And I’m thinking, yeah I’m definitely blogging this.
You know you are a blogger when every moment’s memorableness (shutup it is a word! I looked it up) is measured by it’s blogworthiness.
Waiting for the perverted search engine hits to start rolling in after this post.

Bachina! Hee, she’s a keeper, Ammie……
Peanuts! OMG! Hysterical!
ROTF!! Don’t you just hate it when you have to stifle your laughter.
lolololololol China….lol
I figured I was addicted when I started composing blog posts as I was falling asleep.
You gotta look at every aspect of life as blogworthy…or not!
I have friends who are appalled at the fact that my girls know the proper terms for their anatomy. (They still call it a tinkler, which I think is a damn shame. It doesn’t just tinkle!!)
Anyway, ‘jinah has been uttered from two year old lips around this house, much to my in-law’s dismay. (All the more reason to encourage it. LOL!)
But for some reason my 5 year old simply cannot bring herself to say “penis” in front of Daddy. She’ll go on and on about her vagina, but just can’t say penis in front of him for whatever reason.
But yesterday she told him, “Daddy, I saw your padookie-wah. You really need to cover that up.” *snort*
LOLOLOLOL!
Hee hee hee hee! What is it with kids and penises? My daughter just had a similar penis thing the other day. LOL! But calling it peanuts is just too cute!!
LOL! That is hysterical! I love when they come up with their own pronunciation to things.
Oh, dear. You know, when they’re the ages when they could actually read your blog, you may have to filter your “material” a bit more carefully! (Just speaking from experience here.)
Too funny!!! I love that she was looking for her peanuts!
Pfffftt!!!!
I just spit my Diet Coke all over the keyboard! That was worth it!
Yeah, that’s a great moment for sure!
Pachina is how my girl used to say it.
hehe
Me - (Lying on the bed while husband gives son bath. A rarity.)
Hubby - Wash your boy parts.
Son - Splash, splash
Hubby - Make sure you wash your boy parts.
Son - Splash, splash
Me - (Giggling furiously)
Hubby - Did you wash your boy parts?
Son - Daaaaaaad. I don’t know what that is!
Me - (Yelling down hall) It’s your penis.
Son - Oh, okay.
Me - Snort. Heheheheh
Cute story. I’ve got one of my own, if you don’t mind. My mom’s a nurse so she always taught us the proper names for our body parts, too. Right after my brother was born she brought him to my preschool when she picked me up and all my classmates gathered around to see him and I proudly announced, “This is my brother and he has a penis!” My mother said she turned bright red and glanced up at my teacher who was equally red. None of the other kids had a clue, of course.
HILARIOUS!!!
Hey, as long as she don’t take the peanuts to China, it’s okay…
Sorry, I had to say it…
That is so funny. I have two boys and my 6 yr. old calls a girly part a ‘gina…pronounced jyna…somewhere the va part got lost. I’ve always made a point to call body parts by there real name. No foofoos or weenies here. lol
Ah, the simplicities of having four boys. . .
LMAO!! Seriously, I can honestly say I am SO jealous of this post! Too many blogworthy quotes between those little munchkins of yours!! Penith and Bagina.
TOO FUNNY.
I damn near choked on my diet black cherry vanilla coke as I was reading this. Absolutely hilarious. Peanuts!!! LOL!
And now penis and vagina become her favorite words… carted out at every conceiveable inappropriate moment!
BWAHAHAHAHA! We just call it a ‘minkie’. They know it’s really a penis but old habits die hard. Speaking of dying, I almost did the day Captain Destructo told Jr that I had a minkie but you couldn’t see it for all the hair.
I really need to lock the bathroom door…
Oh yeah, kind of gives “peanut butter” a whole new meaning, eh? It could be your new code word!
