Gratitude










As Eva and I sat down to our ham lunch today, I decided to use the moment as a teaching opportunity:

ME: (Pointing to the ham on her plate), Eva, do you know what kind of animal that is?
EVA: Umm... Chicken?
ME: Nuh uh.
EVA: Umm... Cow?
ME: Nope - a PIG! (Snorting sounds ensue).
EVA: Thank you, Pig!

Ah, gratitude...

I just don't know how vegetarians make it without bacon!
We are making 15 Bean & Ham soup tomorrow with our Ham bone, never realized how long a Christmas ham can last.....

Good thing it wasn't lobster. :)

KJ - Yeah, she probably wouldn't have expressed such gratitude had it been lobster... ;-)
