I'm not sure what inspired all this, but my kids have had a thing with where meat comes from. They know perfectly well that it is animal muscle, so they always ask what animal it came from, what part of the victim it is, and how we came about having it on hand.
I'm cutting chicken breasts before dinner...
Bekah: What's that?
Me: Chicken.
B: But what animal did it come from?
Me: A chicken. You know, the bird. Bok, bok.
B: Is he dead?
Me. Yes. Definitely dead.
Pause.
B: Does he even know that you're cutting him?
Me: No, I don't think he cares right now. He's dead.
B: What part of his body is that?
Me: His chest.
B: And you got part of his chest at the store?
Me: Yep.
Once I caught her making sawing motions, so I inquired after the purpose. She was cutting a little army man up for his meat to feed to Megatron.
We might have a future butcher in our midst.

Your kids Crack me up...
Haha! Bekah is so hilarious. And I love their obsession with Transformers, too.
LOL! What fun to have a witty mother! Your children are fabulously smart. I'm not sure you're maximizing on the profit they could be making you...
Elizabeth and Steven do that, too. It totally grosses me out. "Boy or girl turkey?" "Did they shoot it with a gun to kill it?" "Did it bleed a lot?" By the time they're done, so am I - I can't eat it.
That's too funny, and so is Rachel's comment
This totally made me laugh out loud! i so miss you, Sarah, and your darling little fam.
Your kids always become fascinated with the most strange things. I love it.
