We bought a big ham yesterday at the grocery store. The kids didn't even notice it until we were putting away groceries at home and they saw it sitting on the table.
Daniel stopped and pointed. "What. Is. THAT."
I told him it was a ham. And that they have all eaten ham before. It's delicious. He even helped cook it.
Cooked it with my mom, of course. I just don't have the culinary oompf to attempt big fancy dinners more than a few times a year. I do ground beef and chicken. That's about it.
So, naturally, the last time we had a nice ham when I was about to have a baby. My husband and children always eat well when I'm about to have a baby. Not because I'm nesting or feeling particularly maternal or anything. It's beacuse my mom's in town and she feeds us awesome food. Lots of it.
Anyway, back to the short but funny story.
"So it's PIG? Eww... Is that the HEAD???"
I laughed out loud and told him of course it wasn't.
"It's just a part of the pig, Daniel. Not the head. Just some part of the pig. I don't know... Maybe a leg, ok? I think it's a leg."
Then Haley said "If it isn't the head, and it's part of the leg, I think it's the butt. It must be the butt. And I am NOT eating the butt of a pig."
Oh, good grief.

You've got to give her points for anatomy.
ReplyDeleteTonight at our supper table Skye asked if the meat my husband was eating was from a boy or girl cow. My husband said he thinks it's from a girl cow. Skye says (with hand motions to make it crystal clear) Yeah! They just cut those things off the bottom where the babies eat and then we eat it."
I'd like to know what she would have said if it'd been from a boy cow.
me either, Bop. me either.
ReplyDeleteOMG, that's awesome! Haley-girl - you crack me up!
