It irritates me that people feel the need to teach children to use cutesy slang words for genitals or other body parts — there’s nothing scandalous or damaging about them knowing anatomically correct language.

I grew up with parents that didn’t shy away from using correct bodily language, so maybe that’s why this irks or feels strange to me. You wouldn’t go to your doctor complaining about a problem with your “wee-wee”. So why would you teach that to your kid?

Additionally, I sometimes hear grown ass adults use words like pi-pi (i guess out of some bizarre sense of propriety).. . Like I get that it’s an uncomfortable topic for some people, but I find it rather unsettling to listen to someone describe a penis using baby talk.
