From the Mouth of Babes*

*a recurring feature here at The BBC

Setting - At home...living room...the girls are watching a science video about the body...

Adachi: Mommy, what are kidneys?


Me: Kidneys? Hmmm...Well, they are organs inside your body that help you to eliminate waste. That's the stuff you don't need for nutrition.


Adachi: Oh. I'm glad you told me that.


Me: Why is that?

Adachi: Because I thought they were parts of our legs.


Get it?

Kid. Knees.

Yeah - I keep telling you guys - I couldn't make this stuff up if I tried.


...and she knits too!
