- Daniel is only 7 weeks old, so who knows how our language will evolve.
- It is certainly my intent to teach him that his penis is a penis and not
- something else. My husband and I usually bathe him together in the tub,
- and as Skip washes Daniel's anal-genital area he always says, "and now we'll
- wash possible." This comes from Skip's grandmother's advice - "Wash up
- as far as possible, and down as far as possible, and then wash possible."

- We have jokingly used this word throughout our marriage - it has become one
- of those "family words" that has meaning only to us.
