Hi Danny - The boy happened to be 9. Old enough (in my opinion) to know what "urinate" or "void" is. I personally don't think that teaching young children both the "correct" term and your particular family "slang" is a bad idea. I'd call it the best of both... worlds? terms? words? Don't really know what to call it. It was just an amusing story, not meant for anyone to find any fault with! :) ValerieValerie
