Why do we get growing pains?
Notes de l’épisode
As kids, you are constantly growing. You may not be able to feel yourself growing day to day, but if you’ve ever had achy legs at the end of a long day and been told, “Those are just growing pains,” it certainly SEEMS like you can feel yourself growing!

Why do our nails and hair keep growing–and is it true our noses and ears never stop growing either?
