This made me laugh surprisingly hard.
Oh yeah. This fact made the rounds at middle school back in the day. Beautiful, dangerous information for tweens to have lol.

Ah, yes. When my kids were young, saying “I can see your wenis” was an apparently hilarious gag.
My husband, an anatomy teacher, regularly finds a way to work this word into conversations because he knows it makes me cringe. Plus, our dog has fur whorls on his wenises (weni?) which is very cute, but gives him endless material.
To anyone who says this used to be hilarious when you were in middle school, you are dead wrong. It has never stopped being hilarious.
