Cameron and I were watching Bizarre Foods with Andrew Zimmern and he was in West Virginia. He was out hunting Deer, squirrels, etc. They show then hunting it, skinning, it, hanging it, carving the meat, etc. Cameron was enamored with it. The show got over and we went upstairs to get ready for the day. We were in the car about an hour later and the following conversation ensued:
Cameron: Mommy, I want to be a hunter. Like those guys on the TV, I want to go get a deer.
Me: Well, you could do that if you want to I guess. But you have to wait until you are much older because guns are very dangerous and if you aren't super careful you could hurt someone.
Cameron thought about that for a while. Then spoke up with:
Cameron: Mom, do Deer give is chicken?
Me: No, Deer give us Venison.
We talked about all the different kinds of meats: pork from pigs, beef from cows, etc. Then he was quiet for a minute and came back with:
Cameron: Mom, what makes muffins? (he LOVES poppy seed muffins)
Me: Bakers do.
Cameron: No Mommy, what animals make muffins.
Me: Animals don't make muffins, plants do.
Cameron: Well, Mommy............I've never seen a muffin plant?
Me: Hahaha Cameron you are too cute. There are no muffin plants, just plants that make the ingredients to make a muffin.
After a longer discussion we both determined that Ovens make muffins!
that is too funny! i love when they're trying to figure it all out. A muffin plant....i need one of those. ;)
