the Digestive System

or..lunch conversation with Erin and Jilly.  I picked Erin and Jill up at school yesterday when they had a half day of school and we headed out to lunch before going to their house.  Erin decided to tell us what she knew of the digestive system, which was plenty.  She was explaining how we swallowed our food, it went to the esophagus, telling us about the intestines, and pancreas, how long it took for the food to digest, etc.
Jill then added.  "And then we  poop it out."
Erin:  Jill, we ARE eating.
Jill:  Well, we do.

I also got to hear Erin play the piano; she's something else.  When they first got into the car, Jill announced that we're going to Steak & Shake for lunch.  Erin told her that wasn't their decision to make.  Of course, I was all for it.  I fully intended for us to go to lunch someplace or another.  I'd have tried to get them to the moon if that's what they'd wanted.  We enjoyed Grandparents' day earlier yesterday morning, always a treat.

I've rented Seasons 2 & 3 or Downton Abbey which I've been watching so I'll be caught up when Season 4 starts in the fall.  I'm hooked!  And I've got a great quilt project that I'm working on, though I've not made much progress yet.

Anyway, Erin can explain the digestive system, and Jill will more or less sum it up for you.

I hope that as the years pass they will continue to keep me updated on what they know...
