My 5 year old Russian neighbor was telling me about a cartoon.  She said, “Then the bad guy turned him into кости.  How you say that in English?”  I reminded her that I don’t know Russian.  She said, “It’s in here,” pointing to her abdomen, “and if you don’t have them you look like this.”  She proceeded to wave her arms up and down and sway her body like a tree in a breeze until… “You mean ‘bones’?”  ”Yeah, кости?”
