The Mom Who Liked to Make Vaginas "Happy"

One of our VaWa Sisters, who recently left the area for a world wide adventure, sent me this lovely true story. She is deeply missed this V-Day season. Even if you don't know her personally I think you'll like what she shared.

Enjoy!

A few months ago, I was changing Z's poopy diaper. She had recently begun reaching down to do a lot of touching and exploring, and this time when she reached down, I didn't want her to get her hands in the poop, so I said...

"No, Z! Yucky!"

And wouldn't you know it? After that, every time she reached down to touch and explore, she looked up at me and said, "Yucky!"

Um, I'm a VaWa. That is totally unacceptable. (Husband agreed.)

So, every time this scenario would play out, I would respond with, "No Z. Not yucky. Happy!"

Because at this point, it was the only word she knew that could possibly be opposite of "yucky." Then one day, she reached down to touch during a diaper change, and she looked up at me and said, "Yucky!"

And all I said, trailing my voice, was, "No..."

And she smiled really big and yelled, "Happy!!"

That's right, Z. That's right. Learn the VaWa ways and prosper.

Love you gals... and miss you. Happy V-Day!
