The boy had hockey at 6 a.m. today. Stop rubbing your eyes. You read that right. 6 a.m. So he and Adam were up at 5 a.m. Which means Pie was up at 5 a.m. Way up. Wide awake. Wanting to chat with Mommy who was trying to hide under the covers. At some point I gave up and let her engage me in a conversation. I decided to quiz her on what she learned at school.
Me: So, who fought in wars?
Pie: Veterans. Some people in my school thought veterans were doctors who take care of animals.
Me: Oh. What are vegetarians?
Pie: I forget.
Me: They’re people who don’t eat meat.
Pie: Right! You’re a vegetarian!
Me: No. Remember, I had chicken for dinner last night. So I’m not a vegetarian.
Pie: Do we know any vegetarians?
Me: Well, Jasmine’s Daddy is a vegetarian.
Pie: Oh!
Me: Would you like to be a vegetarian?
Pie: NO!!
Me: Why not?
Pie: Because my favorite animal is meat!
