Vitamins

I was telling Presley that the oranges she was eating at breakfast earlier this week contained vitamin C, which led to a conversation about vitamins, well vitamin D anyway:

P1:  What other kind of vitamins there are?
Me:  What other kind of vitamins are there?  Let's see.  I like vitamin D.  You know why?
P1:  Why?
Me:  Because you can get it by the food you eat, but you can also get it by going outside.
P1:  How?
Me:  Well, what's outside that could shine on you to give you vitamin D?
P1:  The sun!
Me:  That's right!  You can go outside and your body will absorb the sun's rays and get vitamin D.  Vitamin D helps you grow with calcium.
P1:  What else has vitamin D?
Me:  Let's see. Milk and any dairy product.  Cheese Yogurt.
P1:  And duck.  Duck has vitamin D because it starts with a D.
Me:  Ha ha!  Presley, you're silly.  I'm glad you know that duck starts with a D, but just because it starts with that letter doesn't mean that it contains that vitamin.  Good try though.

I love my little learner.
