Last night my MIL watched the boys so Jeff and I could enjoy a belated anniversary evening. During this visit she gave him an anatomy book - fully illustrated, college level. ~relevant note: my MIL has a PhD in anatomy. She teaches our future doctors at a local medical school.~
Today Dylan asked me to find "bellybutton man".
I dutifully looked in the index. I tried to figure out what the medical term is for bellybutton, found it ~BTW look for umbilicus~ and turned to the appropriate page.
"Here he is."
"That is not bellybutton man."
I started flipping pages. "Is it this one?"
"No."
"How about this one?"
"No."
I continued to flip pages. "There are no more with a bellybutton."
"THAT ONE!"
"That is not a bellybutton."
"Yes it is. I saw it before. He's bellybutton man."
The illustration showed the upper right quadrant of a woman's torso. The various muscles, bone, vessels showing. There was also an area of skin.
"That is a woman's breast."
Much laughter. "It's not a bellybutton?"
More laughter. I believe he was rolling on the floor at this point.
"No, it's a nipple. Please take your book and go."
