The Chatter: Vegetarian

This conversation, that occurred earlier this week, made us laugh...

Me: Ruby, do you want some red bell pepper with your dinner?

Ruby: Yes

Maia: I don't like bell pepper. Have I ever had pepper before? Did I have bell pepper when I was a baby?

Me: You've never had bell pepper.

Maia: Well, I don't like it.

Aleks: You've never even tried it! You don't know if you like it or not.

Maia: Well, I'm a vegetarian. Tonight after dinner I'm going to become a vegetarian right now.

Me: Maia, where did you hear that word?

Maia: From Arthur, on your iPad.

Me: What does it mean?

Maia: It means that you give up something. Like crackers or cheese or peppers.

Me: Not exactly, it means you don't eat meat. So, no bacon or chicken or hamburgers. Only fruits and vegetables and grains and dairy.

Maia: *thinks* Well, I'm going to be a vegetable vegetarian. I'm going to give up vegetables.

Me: That's what Daddy is!

Aleks: Hey, I eat plenty of vegetables.

Happy Friday everyone!
