Growing up, I only knew that my penis was called my "pee-er". So, that's the way I referenced it with my son (who was 4).
One day, on vacation in Florida, we went to a site to watch fireworks. They were being shot off the end of a very long pier which seemed endless while walking on it. I made mention of this saying: "Wow, this is a very big pier!" My son's response was: "Just like mine, right, dad?!"
