When My Son Asked, “Are There Bones in the Brain?”
Hey y’all, let me tell you about one of the funniest moments that just happened during today’s mukbang video with Darius. We had just finished eating some delicious Indian food, and somehow, the conversation turned into… human anatomy!

The Trivia Begins
I said, “We should totally do an anatomy trivia video!” And my first question for Darius was: “How many bones are in the human body?”
Without missing a beat, Darius said, “Two hundred... two hundred and six... two hundred and eight... hmm, like 207, 203, 201—somewhere in the two hundreds!”
I had to give it to him—he was close! The correct answer is 206 bones. But then came the classic moment.
The Classic Moment
Darius looked at me and asked, “Most of those bones are in the brain, right Mom?”
Y’all, I had to cover my face immediately! “OH MY GOD! I want to get out of the car right now!” I screamed. “I’m gonna emoji your face in this video!”
Darius stood his ground: “I mean... like, in the face! Most of them are in the face!”
“NO! The number of bones in the brain is ZERO, son!” I had to clarify loud and clear.
Our “Fuzzy” Anatomy Knowledge
After that, we tried to recall what we could remember:
-
Femur – thigh bone (Darius actually got that one right!)
-
Mandible – jawbone
-
Ribs – there are 12 pairs, with a few “floating ribs” at the bottom
-
Scapula – shoulder blade
Then Darius said, “I think there’s a bone called... elliptical!”
“ELLIPTICAL IS A WORKOUT MACHINE, SON!” I yelled. He was mixing it up with the treadmill, y’all! 😂
Deep Conversations (Sort Of)
We even debated whether the feet or the head had more bones (spoiler: it’s the feet!). Then Darius asked, “Do women have fewer bones than men since God took a rib from Adam to make Eve?”
I had to explain: “No, baby, women and men have the same number of bones!”
The Wrap-Up
I just know at least 100,000 people are gonna watch that video—and I’m sure plenty of doctors are gonna look at us like we’ve lost our minds! But that’s what makes it real—it’s raw, unscripted, and just pure mother-son fun.
So make sure to like, share, and subscribe! And next time your kid asks about anatomy… make sure they know there are no bones in the brain! 😂
Peace, love, hair grease! ✌️❤️
