Stomach Station: Where All the Snacks Go to Party

Right in the middle of your belly lives Sammy the Stomach, the squishy, stretchy boss who handles every bite you take.

All day long Sammy calls out,

“Food incoming! Clear the runway!”

When you eat something yummy—pizza, apples, noodles, or even that suspicious leftover from the fridge—Sammy stretches wide and says,

“Alright snacks, welcome to Stomach Station!”

Inside, things get wild.

Sammy squirts special juices that break food into tiny pieces.

He sloshes, squishes, and mushes everything like a giant mixing pot.

If the food is extra delicious, Sammy cheers,

“Yum! Send more!”

But if it’s spicy or weird, he makes a face and says,

“Uh-oh… this one’s gonna be a challenge.”

Once the food is mushed into a soft, squishy goo, Sammy sends it down the line to the intestines, calling out,

“Next stop! Get those nutrients!”

He never stops working—busy day, sleepy day, hungry day, or “oops-I-ate-too-much” day.

Sammy pats himself proudly and says,

“Keeping you fueled is my specialty!”

And that’s how your stomach helps turn every bite you eat into the energy your body needs to grow, run, learn, and play.
