As my parents told me, that growing comes from eating, I imagined that every time I had a meal, it would make a certain part of the body grow, for example the legs. Because growth happens very slowly, I did not wonder why I was growing perfectly symmetrically, and considered it pretty clever of the body to manage putting exactly the right amount of food to the right place. Of course, I also imagined that the food would go immediately to its place.
