I say general use because several months back, we had to suddenly leave the mall because of, um, dramatic overflow issues. I was having trouble getting him into his carseat when he icily informed me, "Only my daddy can make me snug enough to be safe. And HE doesn't always have blood coming out of his butt!" I have been deeply, bitterly jealous of my husband ever since.

She has been aware of where to insert tampons for months. She will actually unwrap a tampon and try to "insert it". It is rather funny. My favorite was when she was naked and lying on our bed with her head propped up on the pillow. It really gave her a great position to try and complete her task. Too funny! I also love the fact that there are words you don't like to use. I am the same way. I will not use the F-word, as I call it. (the one that stands for gas). I just think it is a disgusting word. There are many others that rank in that category as well. I feel your pain, sister! My 20 month old daughter is very in tune with “female issues”.

Your complete lack of awareness as to her astute awareness reminds me of the time I very nearly drove off the road upon hearing my then six-year-old son explain to his friends in the back seat of my car that he would never have a baby brother or sister because "My mom's been spayed" (!!!!) Where (HOW) did he manage to pick up on (and translate to some semblance of first grade comprehension) **that** I ask you? Apples -- they're the new chocolate ;-) Hah!
