Backstory: I recently purchased a plush kidney on Amazon and my 6 yo daughter LOVES it! The other day she was showing it to my niece (also 6) and this awesome conversation happened.
Daughter (to niece): “Look Summer, this is my mom’s kidney and this is where the pee comes out.” giggles
Niece: “Ew, I don’t have kidneys”
Daughter: “Do you pee?”
Niece: giggling and slightly horrified “yeah”
Daughter: “Then you have kidneys. They make your pee.”
Niece: super adamant “No I don’t, that’s disgusting”
Daughter: annoyed “Yes you do! The pee drips down this tube...everyone who pees has kidneys.”
I’m pretty sure this conversation could only happen in the home of a kidney patient or maybe a nephrologist.....I was laughing so hard!
