Eating Animals

Although The Roc shows no signs of converting to vegetarianism, my four-year anti-meat propaganda campaign is finally paying off. The Roc now understands that chicken (the animal) and chicken (the food) are one and the same. At dinner, he always asks me: "Mommy, am I eating animals tonight?" And today at the grocery store, as we passed the live lobster tank, he said cheerfully and in full hearing of several of our fellow shoppers: "Bye bye, lobsters! You're going to have a sad life and then you'll get eaten!"
