- I like 'crotch' as it is a pretty gender neutral term and more or less
- socially acceptable. Zack is already familliar with the concept that
- a hand is made up of fingers, fingernails, palm, wrist and the fact that
- his crotch is made up of several parts (whose names he knows) is ok.
- Besides, when he imitates me washing (I'm 9 mos pregnant), he's hitting
- a lot more than just his penis with the facecloth.
