(while washing hands before dinner)

RJ: How do you get tapeworms?

Dad: From eating tapeworm eggs. They hatch in your intestines and the tapeworms start living there. That’s one reason why we wash hands before we eat.

RJ: Where do you get tapeworm eggs from?

Dad: They’re in poo from a person or animal that has tapeworms. If it gets on your shoes, or someone else doesn’t wash their hands properly they can get transferred around. If they end up on your hands and you get them in your food, you get tapeworms.

RJ: So when the eggs that go in the toilet hatch, way down in the drains, the tapeworms must be saying, “Oh help! Where am I? This is not right!? Oh no! This is not the right place!”
