Vomer

As we were driving home this morning, Noah says, "Mom, did you know you have a bone in your nose."
I said, "Oh yeah?"
"Yeah, right here," as he was holding the bridge of his nose.
The anatomy teacher in me follows up with, "Those are actually two bones. They are called you nasal bones. And you feel this one right here? In between your nostrils?"
"Oh, yeah, I feel it."
"That's called your vomer."
"My boner?"
Me trying not to laugh, "Your VO-MER. Vvvvvv like vest. VO-MER."
"Oh. I get it, vomer."
"You got it!"
"Is there a bone in your body called the boner?"
"Nope."

My mother always asks this question after a moment like this. What do people do for entertainment when they don't have kids?
