Joke of the Day - Where does Poo come from

A little boy says to his dad one day:

“Dad, where does poo come from?”

The father is a little taken aback that his five-year-old son is already asking difficult questions and thinks for a while how to respond.

“Well, you know we just ate breakfast?” “Yes,” answers the boy.

“Well, when you put food into your mouth you chew and swallow. The food then gets smaller and smaller and goes down in your oesophagus, a long tube that goes down into your tummy.

Your tummy then mixes up the food and liquid with the digestive juices produced by your tummy.

The digestive juices help to break down the food so the body can process it properly.

Then the food comes out of your tummy and goes into your small intestine.

The walls of your small intestine are filled with little hairs or fingers that stick out, called villi.

The villi take the nutrients from the food into the entire body. After it leaves the small intestine, it travels into the large intestine.

The only stuff that’s left over when it goes into the large intestine is waste.

The waste then comes out of your bottom when you go to the loo, and that is poo.”

The little boy stares at his dad in stunned silence for a few seconds, then asks: “And tigger?”
