Jenn of breed 'em and weep has to take her two little girls along with her to the gynecologist.
I summon the test subjects. “Girls, I have to go to the GYNECOLOGIST tomorrow. She’s a doctor who delivers babies and takes care of GIRL PARTS. She will look at my GIRL PARTS. Do you want to be in the room when she looks, or do you want to be outside with the nurses?”
“IN THE ROOM!” shrieks Hattie Bella, thrilled.
“Uh, can I think about it?” says Sophie.
“Sure,” I say. “It’s just a normal routine thing, she just has to check—”
“Your VAGINA?” asks Sophie, wrinkling her nose slightly.
“Yes,” I say, trying to sound feminine-tastic and empowered and empowering. “My VAGINA.”
“OH MY GOSH! SHE’S GOING TO LOOK IN YOUR VAGINA??? WHERE WE CAME FROM???” hollers Hattie. Now the neighbors know where we will be on Tuesday morning, or they are calling Child Protective Services. “DOES SHE KNOW YOU NEARLY POOPED ME IN THE POTTY WHEN I WAS BORN???”
Definitely worth reading.
