I have a niece who just turned three. My husband and I babysit her sometimes. She refers to her privates as her kitty. My husband thinks this is an adult term, a little vulgar even, and shouldn't be used by kids. I say it's a perfectly harmless and innocent term and he's crazy. What do you think?
O_O I think its a little inappropriate considering kitty is just another word for pussy. Good grief.
Why can't parent's just teach their kids the REAL name... as if there's something wrong with a child saying the word "vagina" and this isn't completely inappropriate.
*facepalm*
My mom just taught me that they were called "girl parts" and "boy parts" as a kid; which honestly, I think worked out fine. No weird names, just basic, bland terms for them.
I guess this wouldn't be an appropriate time to me to sing Sheldon Cooper's soft kitty...
That's almost exactly like the ending of this scene from We Without Wings: Under the Innocent Sky watch?v=btRLvTgpPX8.
I know a 6 year old who calls her vagina and flat boobs 'dem sexy parts'. I think she learned it from me when I was trying to make my friend feel better after a break up and pointed out everything good about her, eventually pointing to her vagina and breasts and calling them 'dem sexy parts' just as she entered the room.
I feel so guilty, but at the same time, it's hilarious.
Meh. It has shock value, but really it's just a word. I agree with the other commenter though - it's best to teach her to say "vagina" like a normal, mature human being.
Sounds like this kid was raised by a hooker. Kids should only use that term to mean a cat. You are right it sounds very inappropriate since even though its a less vulgar term its generally used by adults. Its like calling it a pussy which really mean CAT. Maybe she heard someone refer to it as a "Pussy" and put it together. Though it makes you wonder where this child was when she heard this kind of stuff.
