- One of the displays is a "body" shooting a basketball - Sarah-Grace looks at it and says "look that guy died shooting a basketball". One of the displays is a "body" posed sitting in the "thinking man " position. Sarah-Grace says I wonder what the guy was thinking when he died. We finally realized that she thought all the bodies displayed died in the positions they were in.
- There are 2 lungs displayed at the exhibit, a healthy lung of a non smoker and a lung of a smoker who died of cancer. You can imagine that the unhealthy lung of the smoker was black. This part she got because Sarah-Grace started asking a lot of questions and plans on writing her family members that smoke a letter explaining what she learned and asking them to stop smoking (that would be her aunt Debbie, uncle Tommy, cousin Rick and cousin Kristi). However when we got to Fox Sports Grill for dinner she noticed 2 african american people standing and smoking in the lobby. She said "daddy those people shouldn't smoke because they will turn black...daddy, those 2 people already are black". Tad had to explain that your whole body doesn't turn black when you smoke just your lungs on the inside.

Bodies Exhibit with Sarah-Grace
Today we went to see the Bodies exhibit in Atlanta, IKEA (a really cool store) and Fox Sports Grill in Atlantic Station. For those of you who don't know the Bodies exhibit is an exhibit of real human bodies and body parts preserved in a new way and displayed in different positions with different parts exposed (the skeletal system, the nervous system, the circulatory system, etc.). I know it sounds morbid and gross, but it really isn't. Here are a few signs that this exhibit was a little over Sarah-Grace's head:
