Its a biological name. They could have said bag that a male's balls hang in and changes flexibility with temp. changes. Believe it or not, children wonder about their bodies, even young children not thru puberty.
STS you should have kicked your big brother in your given name.
And now for my story:
My daughter at about 1 1/2 half or so years old pushed the door open on me whilst I was urinating. It was a summer morning and she was not dressed and had pulled her underwear off ready to go potty. As I was in the middle of a stream (you know how difficult it is to stop) I told her to wait just a sec. So she stood there and stared at me. Looked down at herself, looked back up at me, looked back at herself, and then declared "All gone" which was her statement when something was missing, like food, or in this case, a piece of anatomy. I of course tell this story to everyone and think it was an interesting lesson.
