God I think I bought dd1 the wierdest present ever, but blamed Santa - will i get away with it?

[Bocohohoho]

DD1, aged 5, has a big book of the human body and loves it, she looks at it all the time and is fascinated.

So, I saw this Human Anatomy colouring book on Amazon for about £3.50 and thought maybe she'd like it. When it arrived it was more like pages from a medical textbook and probably intended to help medical students to remember bits, but thought i'd just stick it in her stocking anyway.

This evening she was happily colouring away, all the drawings are colour and number coded. I was curious when she asked me what a rectum is, as she needed a light orange for it, she'd already used the regular orange on the anus. So looked over her shoulder to find a neatly coloured diagram of the male reproductive system. Number one, seminal vesicle - green, scrotum - yellow, sperm - grey.

Bloody father Christmas, fraek.

chorkle chorkle

not one to show the grannies

...

oh or rip out to display on the fridge

You won't feel so strange when she's graduating from Medical school!

lol

lol

Thanks for that, I very nearly PMSL!!

ROFL

"muuuuum, I fell over, I've got an ache in my sacroiliac joint"

Fab present

ah well, harpsi will be proud that she'll know all the correct anatomical terms. no twinkles and peepees for baby Boco

I used to have that! Next year get her the neuroanatomy one....

Ooh, I'm using that book for revision this vacation! It's brilliant. Much better than colouring in cr*ppy pictures of Bob the Builder. Susan Greenfield in the making - why not suggest it for school?

I have that book, and the one on the human brain!

V. impressed that a 5 yr old is colouring it in properly! I struggle and I'm meant to know all this stuff!

Oh phew, so you don't think i'm too much of a freak, getting my five year old colouring in cross sections of a cock and balls on Christmas day.

That's a relief!

• and to be honest Calcifer, there is some colouring confusion around the vas deferens and the seminal vesicle.

PMSL! That is brilliant!

she must be such a good reader

you must be so proud

'rectum' isn't a high frequency word from what I can remember of dd1's reception year

Yes, but rectum is very phonetic so not too demanding. She did struggle with pubis bone.

mmm yes

but a great opportunity to introduce the magic e

thank you for making me laugh, first time today and probably last before in laws leave

PMSL [frin]

DD (6) would probably love that - I know OT students who used it for revision!

[frin]?

that made me laugh!
