Parts of the Body
Sonia: What in the world is that?!
Nadir: It’s a Life-size figure of George Washington. It’s for Leon’s school project.
Sonia: Then why are you making it?
Nadir: I’m not. I’m just helping him.
Sonia: Uh-huh. Why does George Washington have really big Hands and flat Palms?
Nadir: He cut down the family’s cherry tree. Remember? He probably needed big hands to do that.
Sonia: And why does he have little tiny Feet with six Toes on each foot and no Ankles?
Nadir: I made a little mistake with those, but they’ll be covered up with shoes, so no one will see them.
Sonia: And why is George’s Head shaped like an egg? His Ears are Lopsided and his Earlobes are Disproportionate to his other Facial features.
Nadir: That’s why I made the Forehead and Chin bigger, so no one will notice those ears. We’ll probably put a hat on him anyway.
Sonia: But his Legs look really thin on top and thick on the bottom, with Kneecaps that stick out.
Nadir: I’ll put pants on him, so no one will see those either.
Sonia: So it won’t matter if he’s not Anatomically correct, right?
Nadir: Right.
Sonia: Good thing this isn’t for science class!
