- he corrects you as you sing "where is thumbkin" by telling you your "pointer" is not actually a pointer finger, but an "index finger".
- he walks around the room with a flashlight shoved in a snow boot, informing you it's his tibia.
- he brings you his father's model pelvic and leg bones, and then points out the acetabulum, sacrum, pelvis and femur. (I didn't even know there was a part of your body called the acetabulum...)
- he uses his wooden blocks to build "x-ray machines" so he can look at people's bones
- you walk into your son's room after his quiet time is over to see a couple stuffed animals belted to a board; he informs you that they were hurt, and he had to strap them there while they go to the hospital so they don't get more "owies" from moving while injured
- although you try to avoid him seeing too many scary things during the Halloween season, you don't have to worry about skeletons, because he actually gets excited, remarking about how those places like bones just like his Daddy does
and of course, he automatically assumes that if his Daddy isn't with him... well, "he's at the hospital". Such as when we went to dinner with church friends while Joel was in Montana, and they asked about Joel, he replied "my daddy is in surgery right now"... :)
