Eating lunch today, Kiefer said, "Mom is pizza made out of strawberries?"
"No, buddy - but you know what it's made out of? Tomatoes. Pizza sauce comes from tomatoes."
"But I don't LIKE tomatoes, Mom?!?"
"Well, a lot of really yummy things come from tomatoes. You know what else? Ketchup...you like that... and spaghetti sauce for people who like that...and yup, pizza sauce. Lots of people like all of those things but don't necessarily like tomatoes."
Taking a bite of yogurt he said, "you know what else is made out of milk, Mom? (whispering) yo---gurt...""That's right! And you know what else? The cheese that's on your pizza comes from milk which comes from a cow."
"Yup. That's right mom. The cow drinks the milk. Then it comes out of the cow's bottom...then people drink it, mom!"
So, he got me. That's pretty much right. Sort of....
Now, I'm a bit disturbed that I had to think so hard about where pepperoni comes from. I hope it's legitimate meat - the sausage, pork, pig thing.... I hope.
