I had a freaky moment in the grocery store today...

I went grocery shopping with my kids today and my 10 year old picked up a small cornish hen, the kind you can get frozen in the store all wrapped in the little plastic, and I froze dead in my tracks and the first thought that came into my head was that the dead bird in that package was exactly the same size as my 4 week old wyandotte chicks! I was mortified. And my lovely 9 year old daughter, knowing how much it bothered me, decided to follow me around with the cornish in her hand, tormenting me until I made her put it back. She thought it was hilarious. My 10 year old on the other hand was bothered by the thought almost as much as I was. I don't know that we'll be eating cornish hens anytime soon...

That is just wrong that your daughter was trying to tourment you like that... Remember not to take her by that area when you are grocery shopping with her next time...

It could have been worse. Other cuter animals are sold in the grocery store...and some not cute animal parts as well. My sister used to torment me with cow stomach.

Oh wait, maybe I was the one tormenting her....

Folks ate picked pigs' feet where we grew up.

I'd likely chase her around with brussel sprouts AND bring them home and cook them up for dinner for just her. But I'm mean like that...

My stepdad eats those just to spite us! Last time he was here, i made him Brussels sprouts on a stick.
