A childhood belief about rude bits

When I was 3 years old I was standing in my parents' bathroom. My father had just gotten out of the shower and my mom said, "Look, honey, that is daddy's body." I pointed to his penis and said, "dobby". From that point on all penises were dobbies. I never understood why my friends didn't know what they were. And then eons later,to top it all off, Harry Potter's house elf was named Dobby. Imagine my amusement hearing Harry yell, "Bad dobby!."
