Will It Taste Like Pee?

We interrupt this Easter Egg series of posts to bring you something a little more lighthearted. Actually, downright funny.
Last week Elias and I were talking about his broken foot. He has always had lots of questions about anatomy and physiology. Some of his favorite books are "See Inside Your Head" (about the brain and all the different parts), "What Happens to Your Food" (yes, you read that right), and "The Encyclopedia of the Human Body". I know. He's 6. But I think he knew most of the names (like actual medical names, not just made-up-by-mommy name) of most of the bones by age 3. Thanks LeapFrog.
So we were talking about his foot and how bones heal. I explained that he would need to get lots of calcium, and we started talking about how he doesn't drink nearly as much milk as he used to. He pretty much just wants water these days. Anyway, I told him that he probably needs to drink more milk. The conversation went something like this:
Me- You probably need to start drinking more milk again.
Elias- What kind of milk did I drink when I was little?
Me- Soymilk. (because he was allergic to dairy when he started milk)
Elias- Yeah. I don't like regular milk.
Me- Well, we can get some and you can try it. There is lots of calcium in both kinds.
Elias- Why don't I like regular milk?
Me- I don't know if you like it. It tastes different from soymilk because soymilk comes from soybeans. Regular milk comes from cows.
Elias- *confused look, followed by laughter* So, will it taste like pee?
Me- WHAT?!?!?!
Elias- The cow milk. Won't it taste like pee? *6 year old boy potty-talk laugh*
Me- NO!!! Why would you think that?
Elias- Because the cow pees out the milk, right?
Me- No! No, that is NOT what happens. And no, it does not taste like pee. *smile. i have a 6 year old boy.*
