Chicken, anyone?
Happy Mother’s Day to all the mommies out there. I hope you have a peaceful, love-filled day. Here’s a Lucy quote to brighten (or not) your day.
Lucy: “Tell me about the chickens.” (By which she means, the slightly gory story of how a chicken goes from the farm to our table.
So I do. And I ask, “Does that make you want to eat a chicken?”
Lucy: “Yes! I want to eat a chicken.”
Me (prepping her for the *eventual* move to a farm): “Would you like it if we raised chickens and killed them and ate them?”
Lucy: “Yes! I want to kill a chicken!”
My grandmother lives on in this child. Although, I’m not sure that she butchered chickens with quite this sort of relish.
Anyway, Happy Mother’s Day!
One hopes she will do the latter before she attempts the former! Wonderful! Happy Mother’s Day!
