interesting discussion

while preparing to go to sleep last night, i had a pretty interesting and very logical discussion with my migs and it goes something like this:

migs: (pointing to his head) this is my brain

me: you want to see what a brain looks like? it's like a long worm crumpled up.

migs: yes!

me: (used my iphone to search for pictures of a brain) this is what it looks like. see?

migs: mama, my brain is inside my head?

me: yes.

migs: how about my bones?

me: (searched for skeletal system on google images) these are your bones. you see your skull, your arms, your pelvic bone - where your bumbum is, and your legs and toes and fingers.

migs: (pointing to his body parts for each) my bumbum? this is my arms and legs and toes. my stomach have no bones.

me: (seeing how interested he is to see the inside of his body) you want to see your heart? this is your heart, see where it is?

migs: inside my chest.

me: very good! you want to see your lungs? remember, when you go to dr. reloza, she makes you breathe? the lungs are what you use. i'll show you.

me: (found pics of healthy and sick lungs) this is your lungs when it is healthy and not sick (pointing to the healthy lung) and this is the sick lung. when you smoke, your lungs look like this, pointing to the sick lung).
migs: (at this point, he got the phone from my hands and immediately went to his papa's side) papa, your lungs is pangit! you should stop smoking because your lungs is sick!

hubby: (while still playing his computer game) yes baby, i will stop smoking.

migs: (still at his papa's side) papa, your lungs is sick, stop smoking na! look! see, this is my lungs it's healthy!

i was pretty shocked that he absorbed all that in a span of a few minutes. he truly is a sponge when it comes to information and i'm glad we had that discussion. i'm sure he would want to see all of these pictures again tonight. future doctor or scientist? too early to tell, but as long as he'll be happy, i will support him.
