Out of the Mouths of Babes (Costco edition)

My apologies to everyone in the meat section of Costco yesterday.  Our shopping trip went something like this...

Carter: (loudly) "Mom, what did they kill to make this?"
Me: Crabs.
Carter: "What did they kill to make this?
Me: Chicken
Carter: "What did they kill to make this?"
Me: Salmon.
Carter: "What did they kill to make this?"
Me: Pigs.
Carter: Pigs? How?

Don't worry, we didn't go there.  The interesting part is he is not opposed to eating animals for meat.  He just wants to know all the details.  Oh my.  Just not at the grocery store, restaurants, or dinner table please. I am liking the cold produce refrigerator more and more these days. No hard questions :) I can stand the cold.

Maybe it's the age! Rachel does the same thing. She has no problem eating it, she just wants to knwo where it came from. Last week on I-40 we passed a big truck filled with crate of live chickens. You can just imagine how fun that conversation was!
