The first words used were, "Turn over on your tummy." That left no doubt where the thermometer was going. Sometimes my mother would tell others in the family or someone on the phone that she took it in my bottom or took it rectally, depending on the audience. Later she would tell me it was time to take my "tushy temp." We were used to the fact that in my family, children, until high school, had temperatures taken rectally.
