Pre-Fatherhood Question #02

10.24.2005 — 16 Comments

Question #02 comes to us tonight after I’ve already polled my Bible Study guys that are fathers and am still in need of other opinions.

When I was a child (not too long ago, I know) we had specific names for the two forms of “toilet use”.

#1 was “tinkle”
#2 was “yucks”

(and you wonder why I have to grow a beard?)

My question is this – as a soon-to-be Father, what are the pro’s and con’s and OPTIONS therein of naming “toilet talk” certain nouns?

Everyone knows it’s pee or poop – so why the “polite” words?

Did you use “polite” words as a child? Did you teach YOUR children “polite words”?

Does it differ between boys and girls?

I’m very curious about this one – and can’t wait to read your responses.
