When Connor fell down and scraped his knee a few weeks ago, he asked why he was bleeding. As basic as I could, I explained to him that everyone needs blood in their bodies in order to live and breathe. He talked about the necessity of blood for days on end after that. Well, tonight after dinner I thought the subject was going to come up again, but I was mistaken. Connor was looking at a catalog with Halloween costumes and found a picture of a skeleton in it.
Connor: Mommy, everyone has bones in their bodies.
Mommy: That's right. What else does everyone have in their bodies?
[This is where I thought he'd give the appropriate answer of blood, but instead . . .]
Connor: Um, I don't know . . . poopies?
