[Mandalina]

My 5 year old isnt exactly a city slicker but he is funny
we are at the store and he holds up a tyson whole chicken.

Damien:Mom, is this chicken like my chickens?

Me:um....Well, it *was* like your chickens i guess.

Damien: Can i buy a few of these ones and keep them?

Me: No, those chickens are already dead hun.

Damien : Well, i could make them paper heads and glue on feathers and they would be ok!


Yeah....no they wont dear

But you *could* put some marinade on them for a few hours. Then they'd be ok.

I was asked how the Case Farms truck(the feed tanker with the boom on the side) got the chickens inside the "big silver tank thing...is that arm on the side like a vaccuum or something? Does it just suck them up into the tank?" Obviously they didn't know it was the FEED truck and NOT the chicken truck!!

I honestly just stood there for a minute trying to decide where to start with the explanation.

We were at Walmart and somehow got into a conversation with the cashier about our chickens. We said we ate our own eggs normally, but the birds weren't laying much lately.

And she seriously said, "Yuck, you eat dem eggs? That come outta a chicken's butt? I don't eat no eggs from a chicken's butt. Oh no, I only eat eggs from the store."

I tried so hard to keep from laughing. I wanted to ask, "And just where do THOSE eggs come from? A tree?

"

Lord. Sometimes I worry about the people around here

I had a conversation with a manager at my work today about chickens. She had them growing up so I mistakenly thought she was a bit more in the know than other people. I was wrong. I finally got the the part about not needing roosters for hens to lay eggs.

She insisted that whenever they had no rooster they also had no eggs. In the end she said she was going to research it. I didn't give the example for having a menstrual cycle 'cause she's my boss and I didn't want to gross her out and have to sit in a tiny room with her for another hour.

She is not a city-slicker, and is well aware of how eggs come to be, but still doesn't believe me!

I teach in the city and one of my kids said to me when I told them that we had raised chickens, cattle, and hogs to eat, "How could you eat a cow?"

I said "You don't have hamburgers?" He said, "yes, but that comes from the store. I don't eat cows!"
