Growing up in a strict catholic family, s.e.x. was a wispered subject.And for some reason to this day my mother refused to call a man or woman's private parts by the correct name.
As a very small child my mother called a boys part a "birdie" and a girls a "cookie-cookie", go figure. So, in my small very impressive mind i walked around thinking my poor Pappa had feathers in his shorts!!!
This kinda went into the back of my mind until JUNIOR HIGH!! Now we all know this is about the time,questions get asked and curiousity gets the best of us. My best friend and i knew her mom read Cosmopolitan.Burt Reynolds had did a centerfold nude.We stole the magazine and to our huge disapointment,there was nothing to see.The staple was where the "good stuff" was supposed to be!!
We got the bright idea to get a copy of "play girl", we went to our local 7-11 and to this day i have no idea how,but she got the magazine.
Around the corner we ran,hid behind a dumpster and opened it up

THERE IT WAS ,But i was confused and pissed!!!
I said to my friend it looks nothing like a bird !! she on the other hand was laughing to the point she was crying. We threw the book in the dumpster and ran home.
I never spoke of this to my mother, but to this day ,my friend and i laugh like heck over all this. I however told my girls the real names and this way they are not hiding behind dumpsters thinking boys have feathers in their pants.
