Ella has been a vegetarian for about a month. It seems to be sticking. Ever since her seven minutes of Charlotte's Web she wants to peruse the meat aisle quite slowly, reviewing what animal the red packages came from. Cow. Pig.
She came home a few days ago announcing that Jenny had eaten a rabbit, and we repeated our mantra of tolerance for the carnivores. Every person and animal gets to choose their own food.
Yesterday she was quite concerned about Sharry's soup. "It was a lovely soup", she said, "It had white beans, carrots, and broccoli, and then she added a pig and boiled it until the meat fell off the bone."...as if Sharry were Frankenstein if Ella knew who Frankenstein was. She was particularly fascinated with the phrase, "until the meat fell off the bone".
"I am meat," she says.
