"Boobs"

And now ... an open letter (or note) to my 9-year-old, who keeps referring to the chest area on my body as my "boobs." I must insist that you stop doing this. Especially in public. They are NOT "boobs" -- uh, I mean, IT ... IT is not. On a man, IT is called a chest. Now for the very last time: This very manly, appropriately (yet not overly) hairy, somewhat muscular area on my body is called my CHEST. And, by the way, my eyes are up here. Thank you very much.
