So Saturday morning, my oldest daughter (13), my sister-in-law, my 4 month old and myself went to eat breakfast before going to her softball game. We were sitting there enjoying our food on a beautiful day, when out of the blue she asks, "Why does your wenis get flabby when you are older.....babies' wenis is not flabby." After my SIL performed the Heimlich maneuver on me to dislodge the ham that I was choking on, I casually said "WHAT!!!!!!", thinking that I must have heard her wrong. (I am sure each of you can imagine what I thought she said) So she repeated it again. I asked her what in the world she was talking about and she told me that your wenis is the skin on your elbow. I told her that she made that up, and my SIL agreed that this was not correct. She insisted that this is the "scientific term" for elbow skin. We both told her that no one ever told us about this so called "scientific name" when we were in school. She then proceeded to tell us that we were just "too old" HA! I am only 29 and my SIL is a mere 23. It's not like were in school during the dark ages. I asked her if her teacher told her this and she said, "No, all my friends told me." I asked who these friends were, and among them were none other than my buddy Valarie's daughter Syd...... poor undernourished, unloved, Syd. So, I called Valarie, since she is a very hip mom, because I thought that surely if anyone would know, it would be Valarie. I call her and she laughs hysterically at me. She then asks a group of teenage girls that she is with, and guess what............They confirm that your elbow skin is called the wenis. They also agreed that their teachers told them this. Still in utter disbelief, I continued throughout the weekend to ask random children what their elbow skin is called. What did they tell me you ask? "It's your wenis."
WHAT?! Has anyone else ever heard of this? Is is ok for me to say that I hurt my wenis when I hit my elbow? Can I tell people to put some lotion on their ashy wenis? What if I see one of my girls pulling on their elbow skin? Can I yell at them to stop playing with their wenis?
I would also like to say that I have googled this term and in fact it is there, but it is considered a slang term......What are they teaching our children at school?

I think thats why we say I hit my funny bone, instead of saying "Oh I hit my wenis."
Yeah...my kids pulled this on me, too! I think they like the shock factor...and it works!
okay, I have 5 kids and have never heard of this. I need to ask the older two who actually go to school.
We were studying Anatomy in home school and were driving down the road. My 6 year old said that the 9 year old told him that she and her older sister could be pregnant and the baby could be the size of a pea. I am trying to keep open dialog with kids so they aren't embarrassed so I said to daughter that she shouldn't tell people that they could be pregnant because the only way to get pregnant was to have s*x. The boys started yelling EWWW!!!! then the 6 year old said, "So, you have had S*X!!!!!" and I said yes and that nothing was wrong with it, that it was something wonderful God made for a husband and wife. That it was only wrong when you weren't married. My 13 year old was turning his head so far "looking out the window" that I thought he would break his neck.
Same time period- we were reading that about the age of 10-11 girls started releasing eggs and having periods. My daughter looked at me with a look of horror and said," So I am going to start laying eggs in a year!"
I am laughing so hard I'm crying! I can only imagine your shock!
Too funny!

My teenage son pulled this on me back in jr. high. Did we learn this in school and just forget about it? I mean, I wouldn't think I'd have forgotten something like that! Ever notice they don't pull this stuff in private? Oh, no - it's always better with an audience!
