Conversation with my Sister

Every day I call my sister after school and to ask her what she learned in school today. (She's 12). Her answer is always that she NEVER learns anything new at school - the whole year I get the same answer - we didn't learn anything new.

Here's the conversation:

Sister - "Sissy what are you having for dinner?"

Me - "Baked potato and a salad"

Sister - "**Gasp!** Sissy you're eating meat again??? Yaaayyyyy!"

Me - "No, why do you think that?"

Sister -  "But don't potatoes come from cows???"

Me - "They really don't teach you anything in school, do they?" 

Sister - "I think you're wrong. I'm going to ask Mommy."

sigh.

  • I'm pretty sure that even my six y.o. knows that potatoes don't come from a cow.

  • If I had not taught at a local university for four years, I would think you were making this up. Sadly, I know that you are not.

    I remember one student in my ancient history class asking me why the B.C. numbers went backward, while the A.D. numbers went forward. Sigh.

  • the thing i find the most shocking here is that someone who clearly has no idea what meat is, is so invested in someone else's vegetarianism or lack thereof.
    kiss it, nest.
