While we were in Bear Lake, my dad sat down to breakfast one morning, held up a piece of bacon and said, "Mmmm. Dead pig."
Leah, who had no idea that bacon comes from pigs and thinks that "real chickens" are different from "dinner chickens", has been fixated on the idea ever since. So we've had quite a few conversations about where fruits, vegetables, grains, and meats come from. This morning's conversation went like this:
L: (holding up a piece of bacon) Mmmm. Dead pig.... Mom, why did Grandpa say bacon is dead pig?
M: Because pigs give us bacon.
L: What else do pigs give us?
M: (Realizing there is no turning back now) Ham and pork chops.
L: What do cows give us?
M: Beef and milk and cheese and yogurt and ice cream.
L: No! Not cheese!
M: No? Where does cheese come from?
L: Mouses!
Ha! Wouldn't that be a delicacy!
