A little boy.

[Keith Dean]

A little boy says to his dad one day:
"Dad, where does poo come from?"
The father is a little taken aback that his
five-year-old son is already asking difficult
questions and thinks for a while how to
respond.
"Well, you know we just ate breakfast?"
"Yes," answers the boy.
"Well, when you put food into your
mouth you chew and swallow. The food
then gets smaller and smaller and goes
down in your oesophagus, a long tube that
goes down into your tummy. Your tummy
then mixes up the food and liquid with the
digestive juices produced by your tummy.
The digestive juices help to break down the
food so the body can process it properly.
Then the food comes out of your tummy
and goes into your small intestine. The
walls of your small intestine are filled with
little hairs or fingers that stick out, called
villi. The villi take the nutrients from the
food into the entire body. After it leaves the
small intestine, it travels into the large intestine.
The only stuff that's left over when
it goes into the large intestine is waste. The
waste then comes out of your bottom when
you go to the loo, and that is poo."

The little boy stares at his dad in
stunned silence for a few seconds, then
asks:













"And tigger?"
