Conversations with Veda...

Dad:    "Veda, what are you doing?"
Veda:  "Just playing with my belly button"
Dad:    "Oh..."
Veda:  "My belly button is a long cord that keeps all my bones inside my body.  If you don't have bones, then you can't run, jump and skip"
Veda:  "Dad, look at my muscle (flexing her arm)...see, that muscle protects my bones...from wild animals attacks...grrrrr..."
Dad:    "hmm"
