    There's a relatively new-ish book called "It's Not The Stork" that I love & frequently recommend to parents. Worth a look.

    At least you mom didn't protest the library to ban "What's Happening to Me?" A guide to puberty.

    She also forbid the librarian to let me check out Steven King novels when I was in sixth grade.

    NOW I'M READING JEZEBEL! WHAT YOU GONNA DO ABOUT THAT, MOM? HA. HA. HA.

    HA!

    The Girlfriend household had 2 copies, one for "girl" (me) and one for "boy" (the brother).

    I am happy to say that as a (potty-trained) grown-up with my own apartment, and this book sits on my shelf, next to all of my big-girl books.

    I raised my son to simply say "pee" and "poop". His daycare frowned upon this and told me )and him) that he could say "tinkle", "potty", "Number 1 or 2" or "movement".I was like "What is the correct term for 'barf', because I have to go do that now"

    @TheUptightMidwesterner: Movement??? Ok, granted that if a wee one ever waddled over to me to say that they 'had to have a movement', I would be amused & find it cute, but I don't see what's wrong with saying, 'pee' or 'poop'??? Those already seem like safe words - I don't think it's vulgar or profane and not unlike 'tinkle' (my least favorite of that bunch.)

    @PowerPuffT: I actually find "tinkle" more vulgar than "pee" or "poop", maybe because it describes not just the act, but the resulting sound effects. Then again, I tend to feel this way about most euphemisms for the body. My sister wouldn't let her kids say "butt", and insisted that they say "biscuits" instead. And I'm sorry, but there's something disturbing about pluralizing it.

    @TheUptightMidwesterner: That's a load of crap. My mother proudly raised me saying "pee," "poop," and "toilet." The word "potty" was never used and when I heard other little kids say it, I thought it sounded juvenile (though I myself was five).

    It's hard to believe that I learned to use the toilet without a manual and a theme song.

    @boobookitteh: I actually potty trained myself at the age of 1 1/2. My little brother, however, pushed it til he was 4 and I can still vividly remember my dad sitting on the bathroom floor with a guitar singing the poopy song. It's on the list of memories I would eternal sunshine if I could

    In reply to "I REALLY NEED TO URINATE!"
    Actually, the book did not employ euphamisms. The cartoon did ("wee wee" and "poo poo"). I remember this vividly because it was used for potty training my baby brother and I had to ask what "B.M" stood for. (The book does, however, have a parents note to say you can feel free to utilize your family’s own colloquialisms.)

    And yes, I still remember the words to the song.

    @coppertree: Ack! My grandma did this. Especially if somebody farted. She would ask the room..."Who needs to make a BM?" Because my grandma fiercely believed every fart was followed by a dump.

    @coppertree: My mom called it a B.M. as well. I thought it was called a "beam" because they were typically shaped sort of like the ceiling beams in my room and, though I thought it was a stretch descriptively speaking, it seemed as good a metaphor as any other might be. Hearing "log" at a later date only confirmed my conclusion.

    I didn't figure out my mistake until college.
