Over at my other site Diabetes Notes I quizzed my eldest daughter about her diabetic I.Q.. She did fairly well. I was impressed and had fun doing that with her so I have decided to do the same thing here at A Hearty Life with my middle cherub. She is 5 1/2 years old and in kindergarten. We will call her Siddy for short. Protection and all that! So here we go. Her cardiac I.Q. quiz is on…
1. Ok, Siddy… what does your heart do?
“Beats. It runs your body by the veins and blood”
2. How big is your heart?
“As big as this.” (she put her fist up) “Daddy’s must be bigger then yours cause he is taller and has a bigger fist.”
3. Does your heart ever take a brake?
“Yes, when I sleep. Wait, it does… it has to. No it can’t. I don’t know mommy?”
4. What is a heart attack?
“Your heart gets a boo boo and you have to take needles.”
5. What keeps your heart healthy?
“Fruits and veggies. Running, walking and all exercise. When you love people. And raisins make it healthy!”
She is so darn cute sometimes. She did pretty good. That’s what you get when you have a nurse for a mommy. Haha.
