today, the moment i stepped into the house, the tuition kid excitedly shared with me the following song they learnt in sch.. bear in mind they are only a kindergarten kid.
Teeth! Mouth! Esophagus! Stomach! Small intestine! Large intestine! Colon!
Out of the garden and into your mouth my journey begins. Like a washing machine, I sit in your mouth and spin, spin, spin. When I'm all chewed up i'm gonna take a ride down the esophagus, esophagus slide!
I'm a piece of food going down... digestive system I'm a piece of food going down... digestive system
Teeth! Mouth! Esophagus! Stomach! Small intestine! Large intestine! Colon!
Now i'm in the stomach, a muscular sac. I've been mixed up now I'm stored here. Hopefully i'm not going back to your mouth! While i'm here the gastric juices will help me dissolve. My proteins are exposed down to their peptide bonds.
I'm a piece of food going down... digestive system I'm a piece of food going down... digestive system
Teeth! Mouth! Esophagus! Stomach! Small intestine! Large intestine! Colon!
I've moved to the small intestine, although it's very long. Nutrients are absorbed here. Before I leave the nutrients will be long, long gone. Only few materials that are left move to the large intestine.
It is here where i get scrunched up, concentrated, packed, crammed, alternated; never the same again. My water's absorbed through intestinal walls. I'm coming to my end!
I'm a piece of food going down... digestive system I'm a piece of food going down... digestive system
Teeth! Mouth! Esophagus! Stomach! Small intestine! Large intestine! Colon!
last wk i was taken aback when the tuition kid showed me their homework.. yes, a digestive system diagram for them to label. twenty years ago, when i was still a child like them, i dont remember that i actually learnt all these.. not at all. i guess my kindergarten days only evolve ard playgroup, doing craft work, singing, performing and... definitely not wat my tuition kids are doing now!
