Agreed. In my pediatric practice, I get a lot of kids whose MOTHERS have a chief complaint of "her pee-pee hurts." I usually clarify using correct terminology, for that exact reason.

Also, I've had a number of mothers over the years who brought their (usually female) child to my office for the express purpose of having me explain the facts of life to the child. It's always a fun visit. :-)
