The *N* Word (or Why Mommy Still Hasn't Told You the REAL Name for Your...)
5 yr Old Daughter: This dog has two puppies and two suckees (referring to a toy dog)
Me: Uhh...they're um actually called "nipples" (cringing inwardly at the use of the actual name for a body part, even for a dog, because I am a dork that cannot use those words with any degree of ease)
5 yr Old Daughter: Nipples? (pausing and looking sufficiently horrified, as one might expect from a child of mine)
5 yr Old Daughter: Well... (thinking for a moment) On this dog, they're called suckees.
Damn right they are!

Oh man! I rolled when I read this. I'm the same way. I'll use the correct names if I have to but I so hate doing it. It makes me blush and I feel so stupid!
