So...Sava's only word for penis is the Bulgarian kid-speak churka. We are a pretty liberal family when it comes to open conversations about bodily parts and functions, so discussions of churka and how it works are not uncommon; for instance, Sava is often accused of not paying enough attention to the task of the moment when we find pee on the rim of the "big toilet" or, worse yet, on the floor. Today after nap he went to pee, and a few seconds after he'd gone into the bathroom, I heard the following:
"Mommy! This time the churka moved BACKWARD BY ITSELF and peed all over me! Come and see!"
I take this as the beginning of the boy's dissociation between what he knows is right and what the churka does. Such a little guy.
