Pee-er?

Tonight we went to dinner at a friends house. The "boys" that live there apparently are not trained to put the toilet seat down after the use the bathroom (this is likely because the guys are single so there is no wife to enforce this important rule). Anyway, when Melissa took Sheinah to go potty, the toilet seat was up and Sheinah asked why it was up. Melissa told her that God gave boys different equipment than girls. The conversation that followed went something like this:

Sheinah: Daddy and Samson are boys (Samson is our dog)

Melissa: yes, they are

Sheinah: Boys have pee-ers

Melissa: What?

Sheinah: Boys have pee-ers

Melissa: What did you say?

Sheinah: (sticking out her chin, speaking loudly, and trying to enunciate) Boys have PEE-ERS

Melissa: Yes, they do don't they. If boys have pee-ers, what do girls have?

Sheinah: Not pee-ers

Melissa: (Trying hard not to laugh)

Sheinah: Samson's pee-er is on his belly in the middle of his fur. (goes on to say something about the boys at preschool that Melissa couldn't understand)

So now we at least have a name to call boy parts! After telling this story to our friend, Adam, who is the parent of Sheinah's friend, Eva...Adam informed us that Eva just says "boy parts" and "girl parts." We kind of like the term pee-er. At least it accurately describes the function of the part! :)
