What else haven't I told her?

Out of the blue tonight, Annie asked me,

"Mom, how do we make meat?"

Being the sensitive soul that I am, I replied,

"Meat is from animals. We kill them to get it."

Oops. There was a stunned silence, and I decided I'd better clarify.

"Chicken comes from real chickens. Hamburgers come from cows."

Annie: (hysterical giggling)

Yeah- apparently that was a new concept. I don't think she believes me.
