I think you should replace nuts with balls. There is nothing funny about balls in Spanish. Gonads either.
I'm reading a book aloud to some kids this month, and its a really good book but one of the main characters is named/nicknamed Titty. I admit I deliberately mispronounce it as Tiddy. Just to make my life easier.
Yeah, that bit about "Pussy oh pussy, what a wonderful pussy you are" is a bit hard to get through without a snicker...
Everytime I read a story to my small group of students a book that has the word "nuts" in it, they get all giggley.
All of the students but one speak Spanish, so I explained to them that, in the same way that I don't giggle every time I hear the word "eggs" (in Spanish eggs & testicles are similar to the English version of nuts & testicles) they should be mature enough to get through a story without giggling at the word nuts.
HERES THE PROBLEM. I do giggle at both those words and I exploit the hell out of weiner jokes (as do all my family/friends) when we're roasting hot dogs or having anything with buns in general.
and just yesterday, during "crazy hat day" a teacher wore a hat with a hot dog on the top. You better believe I had a hay day making the MOST immature "weiner on her jokes" imaginable.
Damn, I hate being a hypocrite but I'm sooooo good at it!
