I use veggies, tummy, yummy, undies, kiddos, etc. OP would hate spending time with me!

Grow up.

I mean, maybe? Maybe not? I'm trying to make myself care, and I just can't seem to do it.

THIS? YOu bumped a zombie thread for this?
Everyone already knows this.
Thanks Captain Obvious.

No they don't. I'm a 3rd grade teacher and most kids use household nicknames instead.

I had a student who didn't even know the term was vagina. She thought it was called fine china. Not even joking. Calling it the fine china was something an older sibling had said as a toddler and the name stuck in their household.

LOL. I actually love this.

Be careful with my fine china!

It's a thing. Peach Carr from Project Runway (season 8) called it "the fine china" too.

It seems likely that they were talking about vulva, though

I think they're all terrible, but I do refer to "treatos" when I talk to my dog.

Doesn’t bother me. I’m not a fan of the pajamas and slippers as clothes trend though. I think we can stop at athleisure.

I insist my personal chef speak like an adult. It's "pork abdomen," good sir.

I have always hated when adults spoke like this too, and now I have young kids and say things like "potty" and "tummy" sometimes too. I try to stop myself but when you spend a lot of time around kids it can be hard. You're tired, you go on autopilot.

The thing is, I didn't even want to teach my kid to speak this way either. I was going to be the mom who just used the adult terms so my kids do too. But when the daycare worker, the doctor, your husband, your mom, your MIL, AND your kids are walking around saying "oh do you need the potty? I think he needs the potty. Did you take him to the potty," you just start saying it too to get through these stupid conversations about the potty faster.

Littles, kiddos, belly, adults using baby talk

Silly

I must know what made you dig up such a random thread from 13 years ago. This I find more interesting.

13 years ago!

Also, "in the stomach of the beast" just sounds gross, and there's no internal rhyme. See, also, "stomach flop."

"belly of the beast" is alliteration, not internal rhyme
