Today's Amharic Lesson #26 - Body Parts

Because I'm a visual learner to the extreme...  One time in a college I tried to talk Mr. T into letting me write all the anatomy part names I was trying to learn on his body with a sharpie.  Husband no-fun wouldn't comply, but I bet I could talk a kid into letting me write Amharic body part words on them??
