Hello and welcome back to the Curious Kid podcast.

Before we get into this episode, we want to give you a warning that the topic this week

is something that some people may think is gross.

But we hope you will realize by the end of the episode that it's really not that gross.

That's okay, Daddy. We've learned about gross topics before.

That's true. We've done episodes on garbage, on throwing up, on farts, and on head lice.

Our gross episodes are some of our most popular episodes ever.

Okay, Olivia, let's get gross. Mail bag.

Hello, my name is Caroline and I am seven years old. I want to get curious about poop and

pee. How does food get digested in your body?

Also, I have a three-year-old brother, and he won't stop talking about potty words.

Why do little kids like potty words so much?

I'm curious about that too.

Thank you.

I love your podcast.

Sincerely, Caroline from Vienna, Virginia.

Thanks so much for your email, Caroline. We are getting curious about poop and pee this week for you.

The first poop a newborn makes is called maconium.

We should get started with number one.
