When I was 5, my parents had plumbers in to change our plumbing from lead to copper pipes. At the time I was interested in how food got from our mouths to our stomachs. Mum explained that it all went down a pipe into our stomachs. I was well confused and couldn't understand how we could bend over when we were full of copper piping.
