Octopi Parts

Overhearing my little ones playing a rough-housing kind of game the other day, one of them said "Ow!  I got hit in the tentacles!"

I asked, knowing full well what the answer was going to be, "What?  Your tentacles?  Where are those?"

He answered by pointing.

I corrected his vocabulary.  I probably should not have done that because

1.  Now he uses the correct word at every possible opportunity.
2.  Sisi got freaked about about the idea of octopi and squids.

    You could just teach him to say balls. Testicles only means one thing - but balls have so many possibilities! And none have anything to do with tentacles!
