Reminds me of my Christmases growing up in Ukraine. Grandma made these every year and they kept for weeks!

This! I don’t think it took people long to notice what happens to a person’s mind after a serious head injury. Babies dropped on their head didn’t fair well, but the ones who had a broken bone grew up fine. I’m sure if a person lost all their ability to communicate, express emotions or have any sort of meaningful life after a serious leg injury, people would assume the mind must be in the leg.
