Why Vocabulary Matters

Excerpt from a conversation with my five year old while driving in the van the other day:

Me: How was kindergarten this morning?

Amy: Good. We talked about body science today.

Me: Wow, that sounds interesting...what did you talk about?

Amy: We learned about the tentacles.

Me: Hmm. And where are the tentacles, exactly?

Amy: Next to the penis on a man.

Me: (trying not to laugh out loud with that little visual in my mind), oh, was it maybe called testicles?

Amy: No, Mommy, I don't think so.
