Hehe, those are great, especially the no translation part...renews your faith in the human race when you remember that we can all communicate on some level at least

I am originally from Texas, and my first job as a new RN was on a Pediatric unit in Indiana. One night I was caring for a school-age girl who had a foley, and her mom had just stepped out when I went to check on her. When I asked her how she was doung, she told that her "monkey" hurt. Well, obviously she was transferring her pain onto a toy she had (just like they taught us in nursing school!), but when I looked around there wasn't a stuffed animal in sight. Her mom came in, and when I asked her what the little girl meant, she looked at me like I was an idiot and said, "Her monkey hurts." So, I returned to the nurses' station, and being the helpful and nurturing mentors that we all are, laughed their butts off when I explained my dilemma. "You're not from the widwest, are you?" So, they explained to me that this was a common Indiana term for a female's privates. After that, not only did I get a detailed Care Plan for "monkey care" on my clipboard, but I also got monkeys for every secret santa and birthday as long as I worked there.

New one for me and I was born and raised in Indiana.
