This took me back to my childhood days, when I’d spend hours reading my mother’s college anatomy and dental textbooks. Really. I could perform a root canal on your upper left central incisor right now AND point to your appendix.
Joel shares my interest in anatomy. This morning, he drew this:
And just like anatomy books, I added labels based on what he told me during the lecture.
Fig. 1: The brain
Fig. 2: Umbilical cords
Fig. 3: Eyeballs
Fig. 4: Mouth
Fig. 5: Red apple
Fig. 6: Lungs!
Fig. 7: Heart
note: The lungs are like bread, the heart is like turkey, so it is like a sandwich
Fig. 8: Muscles
Fig. 9: Those things that are in your back
Fig. 10: Stomach
Fig. 11: The tubes that take poop and pee to your bottom
Fig. 12: The toilet
Fig. 13: Water
Fig. 14: More water
Fig. 15: Green apple
Fig. 16: Butt
Fig. 17: Bones
Test on Monday.
This was great!
When Elliot was five I found him reading the extremely graphic childbirth section of “Where There Is No Dr.” Yeah. He said, “You never know when I might need to know.” So, you know, if you do have number 8, I’m sure Elliot could help. He’s 13 now.

I always wondered what happened to the umbilical cords after my children were born. Now I know where to find them. Good stuff!

I think we need a detailed explanation of the umbilical cords’ function.
Also, I thought maybe the red apple was an Adam’s Apple substitute until the green one showed up close to the, um, butt. Digestive system in action?

Educational. He really thought it out from the apple to the toilet.
I love it! 🙂

Definitely an aspiring physician. I especially love the green apple coming out the bottom. And his heart really looks anatomically correct.
