Parts of the Body

Will got a new puzzle book, and we've been reading the puzzles together. Here's one we've worked on.

There are 10 parts of the body with only three letters. Most people can name 7. How many can you get?

Just to clarify, this is not a trick question. There really are 10 in the list, and none of them are Latin names or anything like that. Think you got it? I'll put the answer in the comments.

Here they are:

Eye, ear, lip, jaw, hip, arm, leg, rib, gum, toe.

Interesting! I'll have to see how many my kids can come up with.

I could only come up with six. I wish I would have thought about it longer before I peeked!

I did this with Tyler a while ago and he wouldn't help me, but then I felt pretty good when I got them all by myself.

And I still hold that the female has 11 because she has an 'egg.'

Darn! I only got 6! I agree with Jodi, I should have tried harder before I peeked at the answers
