We've been working with our science material: Behold and See Science 5. The current topic we are working with is the anatomy of a flower. Our book describes the ovary as the part of the flower that will become fruit.
So my kids, thinking that it's funny, has decided to use the word when asking for the apples, oranges, or whatever other fruit we've had on hand this week. Mama can I have a red ovary? (apple). Mama can I have a orange ovary? (orange). We have NOT discussed human reproductive anatomy yet, so they have NO idea that this is a name of a female reproductive part. They just think it's a funny sounding word and are proud that they have understood the lessons.
They even said it public at the store today. Mama can we buy more red ovaries? I love that my kids are learning and absorbing the materials. It's good that they can look at the fruit and understand that when it was a flower that was the ovary and the seeds inside were the ovules.
However, given the word you can imagine why my face turned flushed at the store while doing a quick look around to see who heard and if they were given me some crazy looks.
