Mnemonic

How do you count to two? Just use someone's knee (に), and then their other knee. There — two knees!

Imagine asking to borrow the two knees of a stranger in the street, just so you can count to two. They're confused at first, but then they present each knee to you in a loving sort of way. Yep, that's two knees alright.
