When I was a young girl, my mother apparently could not bear the thought of her daughters saying the word "vagina" so she taught me and my 2 sisters that it was called a "tushie." It wasn't until I was in 6th grade and my teacher told a male student that she was "gonna nail his tushie to the wall" that I realized my mother had lied to me.
