The Inconvenience of Being Headless

One of Koen's little toys lost its head this morning. Koen found this rather intriguing and unfortunate. Over breakfast we took turns thinking of all the things you couldn't do if you didn't have a head. I came up with the obvious:

You couldn't see...

You couldn't smell...

You couldn't hear...

You couldn't taste things, or eat for that matter...

But Koen's inconveniences were better. He noted that you couldn't cry or make lots of noise. And after a minute of deep thought, his eyes got wide and his voice went up an octave. "Mom! You couldn't even drive a jeep!"

Whoa! That's a good one! We agreed that we're very glad to have heads.
