After church today, I was broiling hot dogs for lunch. When I announced lunch was ready, my six-year-old said she didn't want hot dogs. She said, "It's meat, which means that it is animal's flesh. I don't want to kill animals and I don't want to eat animals." I said, "What do you want to eat instead? A salad?" She said, "Yes, a salad."
Meanwhile, her nine-year-old brother, decidedly a carnivore, was saying, "But you can't eat so many animals that they do extinct anyway." To which the six-year-old replied, "I still don't want to eat animals. Animals are cute."
By the time I finished washing some Boston lettuce and tearing it into a bowl, my little vegetarian said, "I think I'll have some hot dog first before eating salad."
