Generally speaking, girls have vaginas. Boys have penises. I did not think this was a groundbreaking thing to teach a 4-year-old (even at 2), but it is according to her teacher, who informed me my kid was telling other kids that babies come out of vaginas. First, I was so proud. Then I realized she was asking me to make her stop. … WHY IS NOT OK TO SAY BABIES COME OUT OF VAGINAS? To be clear, I havent told her how the baby is made via a penis and vagina, or artificial insemination, or by reading The Secret. And to be extra clear, I couldve also told her that babies also come out of stomachs sometimes, too, and via adoption, but we just havent gotten that complex about it. Apparently she simply said at school that babies come out of vaginas, and was told to only speak of this with mommy or daddy. And she got upset, because she now believed she was in trouble. But to oblivious me, the question where do babies come from, which my daughter has been curious about for a while, seemed easy enough to answer, and important enough to answer accurately at this age: Babies are typically born from vaginas. jezebel/omfg-teach-your-kids-accurate-names-for-body-parts-alre-1637781018
