Where does our meat come from?

We have been talking about where meat comes from because the boys never believed us when we would try to explain that chicken nuggets were really a chicken (well kind of). So they have been very curious about where all their food comes from now. They want to know what animal a waffle, yogurt or a poptart comes from. So needless to say we have some work to do before they will fully understand. Last week I was making a whole chicken and was rinsing it off when Caleb asked "Mom, Is that an owl!?" Oh goodness! I hope he didn't go to school and tell his teacher we had owl soup for supper. The boys have also been talking about Thanksgiving and turkey at school. Their little friends and them have been playing turkey hunting during their nature walks at preschool. So the other day Bryce asked me if dad had killed our Thanksgiving turkey yet. I think he is going to be pretty disappointed to find out his dad doesn't hunt and we just buy our turkey at Russ's market. To top off all this talk of where our food comes from, Bryce about made Robb and I spit our water across the table the other night at the Chinese restaurant that we were eating at. We had ordered princess beef and all the kids were eating really well. All of a sudden Bryce looks up at me and says "Mom is this meat chopped up Princess?". Some of the things our kids say is so hilarious! Robb and I looked at each other and just cracked up laughing.
