Two interesting convos with Lailah today:
Lailah: Mom, soon we need to stop eating chicken.
Me: Why?
Lailah: Because chicken is a bird and it's sad that when we eat them they have to die.
Me: Well, what about pigs and cows and stuff?
Lailah: Yeah, they're animals too and it's not fair that they die and we don't.
Think I may have a Vegetarian in the making. I told her she didn't have to eat them if she didn't want to and that we would find another way, she said she'll think about it.
2nd*coming home from KFC *Thanks- dad for getting us dinner*
Lailah: Mom, when we get home - don't make my plate. Because I don't want to grow up one day and be like, 'Mommy can you get me a plate of food. Or daddy can you make me a plate of food.' Because I'll be grown up, I can get my own food!
Me: I'll remind you of that when you're older.
Lailah: Okay...... *long pause*.... Remind me when I'm in the last grade because that's when I'll be a grown up. Then I'll remember.
3rd*later on in the day
