It's one of the biggest, most profound revelations of toddlerhood: Boys and girls have different ... stuff. And watching a kid have this epiphany is beyond priceless because, once the basic anatomical reality sets in, every child goes through the same hilarious process: The systematic categorization of family members and friends by, well, their corresponding gender-specific parts. Which is exactly the experience little Bailey is having in this video.
And all you can do as a parent, really, is to sit back and either confirm or deny. And try not to laugh TOO hard.
Suffice it to say, Bailey seems just a tad bit disturbed -- and who can blame her? I mean, really. Who wouldn't make a face like that when forced to consider (for the first and hopefully last time) her grandma's "pagina"?
Just watch:
My favorite part of this video, hands-down: "Mommy doesn't have any penises." Oh, dear. I'm not sure if that's a good thing or a bad thing, Bailey!
Has your little one had the penis/pagina epiphany yet?

and this is why my kids do not know those word even now (oldest is 6) htye do know the differences between boys and girls, but know names only as boy parts or girl parts and privates. I think it is sick to have a child that cannot even hardly speak cleraly talking about this stuff in words like that. mine discussed the same thing at about the same ages. they asked if mommy was a girl and daddy a boy etc. that is all they need to know.
Amy, i think its sick and ignorant of you not to talk to your children about the 'parts' of male and female. If you do not tell them, they will find out by other children at school. And they may even get the wrong information. I remember when kids were telling me all kinds of crazy things about private parts, and not until i was older did i ask my parents the truth. I wish my parents would have told me so i didnt believe the weird and wrong disgusting things other children told me. They have a crazy imagination. Better to ease it with the correct information then only give them a so-so talk about it.
Nothing wrong with her knowing the proper terms! Plus, it was cute the way she said, "pagina"...lol.
my kids are all boys and i dont think i have ever had a penis/vagina talk with them just a boy/girl talk but not about sex parts
they do what what they are called but dont talk about it
When my (now grown) daughter was around 18 months and my son 3, one evening she came running into the family room stark naked after using her potty chair, her brother chasing her with a piece of toilet tissue in his hand yelling, "Stop, Sister, you forgot to wipe!" She stopped in the middle of the room, and my son bent down in front of her. He says, "Open your legs." When she did, he reached down to wipe her and exclaimed, "Sister, where's your penis?!" Classic, hilarious, and I never forgot that moment!
