And spread misinformation and crap..It's my firm opinion that it's 
our duty as parents to tell our kids the real deal...

My six year old son recently told me that Jack (a son of a friend who 
is 8) had told him that "dick, dick" meant butt.

I said to Jesse, how old is Jack?
8
That's not very much older than you, is it?
No

Jesse, you're a little different than some kids. I know a lot of 
about this stuff, and I will ALWAYS tell you the truth when you ask 
me.

I know more about this than Jack who is only 8.

Jesse accepts this.

Okay, Jesse..dick is a vulgar word for your penis.
(I quickly revise myself).

Jesse, dick is a rude word for your penis.

It's not a rude word for your butt.

Jesse says "oh".

Believe me, son, I know a bunch more than Jack does, and I will 
ALWAYS tell you the truth...

Jesse says "okay, Mommy, got it."
