Bank Of VaJayJay

Wonderbaby's relationship with her nether regions is evolving. It is, she will have you know, no longer a hole.

It is now a pocket.

A recent scene at bathtime:

Wonderbaby: (pointing to nether regions) Look I got, Mommy! POCKET!

Mommy: Oh, my goodness. How about that?

Wonderbaby: You need a penny, Mommy? (rummages about around the pocket) HERE YOU GO! (triumphantly brandishes imaginary penny.)

Mommy: Thank you very much. I'll put it in MY pocket (makes dramatic show of putting imaginary penny in PANTS pocket.)

Needless to say, we are now keeping a very close eye on our pocket change. Also, we can no longer say things like 'pocket change' or 'check your pockets for change' with straight faces.

Well, it is a very inventive way of keeping things safe and hidden. Not many people would think to look there for lost items. Unless, of course, you regularly take Wonderbaby to visit penitentiaries!

Puts the lyric "I've got some change in my pocket going jing a ling a ling" a while new twist.

Ha! I love these moments of discovery. Rosebud wanted to talk all about the hair on Mommy's privates the other day...and all I wanted was a quick shower.

Oh my. That's a new one. I am soooo not looking forward to this phase of my baby's life. Let know you get her out of this "pocket" phase in case I have to use it later!

OK, if I was cooler and could make some drug smuggling reference that included storing a "dime" of something, I would.

Be careful, my neighbor found her daughter sticking cat food up her vajayjay one day!

OOooh, no more offhanded comments about 'pulled that out of ASS', for example, which is in high-rotation around here as I concoct conference paper proposals from quite flimsy bases ... Note to self: watch out.

Thats a new one for me! And now I'll never be able to say anything about a pocket with a straight face either.

Hilarious! My daughter is in the same phase....I can't wait until I no longer have to hear about her "gina" and all is fascinating attributes... What fun!
She is also very facinated with "cleaneses" and at a recent swimming lesson with her father yelled out how he has a bigger "cleanes" than her brother. Dh wanted to hide...

A pocket.

I wonder if it REALLY could be a pocket?

JJ - if it really could be a pocket, so much shit would lost up there... it's much too deep to be really functional. I mean, how many lipsticks would just disappear into one's uterus?

Ha! This stage cracks me up completely. I'm laughing now more than I have in years. My girl is now fascinated with my breasts, especially with all the 'babies drink milk from their mummies and your new brother will too when he comes' talk. She's determined to get her mouth on there as much as possible. I've let her try, but her ardour is somewhat disconcerting. Can't wait to see what happens when the milk comes in!

I'm going to spend the rest of my day thinking of pocket-related expressions. For now, I suggest reading Dr. Seuss - There's a Wocket in My Pocket!

so laughing out loud as i read this! my little guy is going through a big naked phase, as in "will don't take your diaper off" "i want to see pee-pee mommy." today he was showing his pee-pee to his little brother (3 months) and last week i was trying to redress him when he said "something in my bum" you know those craft pom pom balls that you glue to things? yup right there between the cheeks! oh and at our playdate today he informed a dad "everyone has a bum"
good times!

Reminds me of Fidget's recent post about her kid saying "pocket rocket." Now there's another thing you might not want to say casually around Wonderbaby. ;)

Okay -- hilarious and TERRIFYING at the same time!!!!!

(Spoken by a mother who years ago had to take her young daughter to the ER because daughter had put a NAIL in her EAR. Picture this discussion: Why honey???? I don't know mom.... it fit when you turned it the right way.... ::::then I pounded my head on the steering wheel::::::

Please have the "we keep things in clothing pockets only" talk.... I'm living in fear for you....

This immediately made me think of the random movie "A Cool, Dry Place." The little boy says, I bet you can't do this and pees on a fence or something. The little girl says, oh yeah, I bet you can't do this...holds up a penny and put it up her dress... HI-larious!

Dude, I know I a kid who once pocketed a whole bag of Skittles - I kid you not. Then my sister babysat that kid and she pocketed my sister's lifesavers. Now that is one sweet pocket.

Oh now I'm dreaming up hot pocket jokes...

I don't know what's worse that or my son in the bath tub last night realizing that he can fit is willywonka through the holes in the little foam ABC's and 123's. He prefers the number 8. It's all quite disturbing.

HILARIOUS.

My daughter was convinced for a long time that her vagina was her tushy.

Plus, she would constantly tell me that her daddy had a vagina.

But I never heard her mention anything about a pocket.

WOW, that made me laugh.

And I thought it cute when my little one pointed to my vajayjay and said, "mommy, why do you have hair on you bum"

We had a little anatomy lesson after that comment....

OMG, I'm dying. That is hilarious. I went back and read the post you linked to and I'm actually crying because Punkin, too, has recently discovered her hole, only she calls it, appropriately enough, her "body."

You should tell Wonderbaby (maybe, maybe not?) that you can actually get a better look at it when you're sitting on the potty. At least that's where Punkin does all of her explorin'!

My daughter is not that funny. But as soon as my son is naked she goes for his penis and pulls it HARD. Constantly hearing the words "No penis for you!" out of the bathroom is kind of funny. Hope he keeps this thought when he' becomes a teenager.
