Children teach us

Gabi: Mom, what's this made out of?

Me: Um.

Gabi: This part, Mom.

Me: A um. (think!)

Gabi: Should I eat it?

Me: No.

Gabi: Why not?

Me: (Screaming on the inside: because it's a dead cow!) Because I have something better-here's an apple.

Phew. Crisis averted. Why? Because I live with a MEAT EATER who wants his children to be MEAT EATERS!

I could just tell my son the truth that he's eating the flesh of a beautiful cow, but he is only 4.  I don't want to scar him.
