I can’t remember how, but we got to discussing shins earlier, so I took the opportunity to teach Liam the ‘real’ names for some of his parts. I didn’t get into metatarsals or scapulae, but I did shin, calf, thigh, and the like. One thing I told him was that the real name for a belly button was a navel.

Later, I quizzed him. He didn’t remember very much, not that I expected him to. When I asked him about his belly button, though, he said he didn’t remember. But then he thought about it some more and said, “Umm… umm… Old Navy!”
