Quotes of the Day

Quote #1:

After reading "The Very Hungry Caterpillar", Cole thought for a minute and then said, "Eating lots and lots and lots of food makes you into a butterfly. I want to do that!"

Quote #2:

Yesterday Brian informed Cole of some heavy truths about life. One of these was the fact that we eat animals. Today when I was cutting up some grilled chicken, Cole provided the following commentary:

"First we pull out their feathers. No, first we pull off their ears. Then you take out their legs. Then you cook it on the grill, and put it on the grill, and eat it! No, first you take out their arms. Oh. They don't have arms. Then you put it on the grill and eat it! That's how it goes."

When Brian first told Cole that we eat animals, he was very upset and said, "No! No, we DON'T eat animals!" But he has apparently come to terms with it.

Wow, I'm surprised he'd never put that together. We never had to explain it to Gavin, and Carson makes chicken noises everytime he eats chicken (as Gavin did). Hopefully he's not too traumatized...I think it's hilarious he was trying to figure out the order the limbs are pulled off!

He is smarter than me...up until about 5 years ago, whenever I saw cows in trucks on the highway, I thought they were just going from one farm to another.....until someone informed me otherwise :( Why couldn't they just let me live in my happy world, where even cows get to go on vacations!

Yeah, we have very similar moments with Bennett that make me seriously consider becoming a vegetarian. I'm impressed with Cole and the puzzle and the president, by the way.
