How a threenager renders you speechless. Again.
By hissychick | April 8, 2008
It is earlier this evening, and A and mr hissychick are taking a shower while I bathe E. All is as it should be -cosy domestic humdrum- until A pipes up with the following:
A (gravely as she draws on the shower screen with bath crayons): Daddy, I’ve got a bolva (vulva)*, although some people call it a ‘gina.
Mr hissychick (looking at me, eyebrows raised as i choke back the snort that threatens to escape out my nose): “………………”
A (spontaneously starts to sing and dance to the tune of the theme from Batman): ‘GINA, ‘GINA, ‘GINA, ‘GINA, BATMAN!!!!!
Ladies and gentleman, my threenager.
* Following our thrush incident I decided it was nigh on time for A to move on from the generic bottom to more specific terminology for her pink bits. Now it completely and utterly shits me to tears annoys me somewhat that when “they” insist that we use the correct names for genitalia “they” invariably and incorrectly use vagina. Freaking hell, these are little people we are talking about, and they need names for where poo and wee comes from, and more importantly, for the bits of their bodies that they can see. Hence I stand by my use of vulva. So there.
Topics: Threenager alert, hi ho A is on the go |
I *knew* there was a reason I liked you. I am firmly in the *bolva camp as well. Well when we move on from “girly bits” anyhoo.
We have a batman song as well - it’s called ButtCream… nenenenenenenenenene BUTTCREAM. I used to sing it to the Monkey to get her to lie still while treating her rashes. Unfortunately the Elfling liked it so much she decided that they would love it at kindy as well *blush*

Good for you, Mommy. I too prefer the vulva… must remember this when I have a girl.

I meant to say I prefer the term “vulva” too. Lol.

Posted by: Moomykin on April 10th, 2008 at 1:41 amIt’s weird you know ’cause I don’t remember mine ever having a name when I was young. To this day, I don’t think my mother has EVER referred to any of my “private” parts except to say that my breasts looked like “two fat plum puddings”. Way to make a teen feel sexy ma!

Posted by: Mothership on April 10th, 2008 at 11:42 pmKathie- welcome aboard team bolva!
Mothership- my Mum is rather bemused that I am using names as well. At least she never described my boobs like that (and if she had it would have involved pancakes rather than puddings)..
Posted by: hissychick on April 11th, 2008 at 4:00 amWanna know what conservative Chinese last generations named private parts?
The girls have little chicks and the boys have birdies.

Posted by: troubled teen on April 12th, 2008 at 8:23 amHa ha! My five year old calls it a - Bagina. And as she’s always jumping and climbing things and falling down, she often feels the need to cry: Oh my Bagina is sore! at the most embarrassing times! Bron

Posted by: Bronnie on April 18th, 2008 at 12:21 amWhen A tells me her Bolva is sore when we are out and about most people don’t know what we’re on about. More fool them!
