When my daughter was often I’ll with ear infections plus the regular bumps and bruises. I told her about “worker blood cells” (white blood cells) that fix cuts and fight against infections. It was only when she was in college that she admitted she thought those cells all wore hard-hats and carried pick axes because, you know, they were workers. 🤣😂🤣 She also called placemats spacemats which is so accurate because they mark your space!
