Just Your Average Five Year Old

So DP says to me from the backseat of the car yesterday as we were heading out of the driveway, "A nut is cool because it has the shell around it to protect and then it has this little layer of skin around it too". And I nodded in agreement (but admitting to her that I had never noticed a sheath of skin around the nut) and mumbled something that sounded like warm motherly affirmations and then she continued, "And that's kind of like our bodies: our blood cells are the nuts and our veins and our skin are the things that protect our blood cells so they can work to keep us healthy and keep bad germs away from us."

Sure honey. I'm sure all your peers are right there with you making those comparisons.
