"Bitch, eat a cheeseburger and shut up"

-Me

I went to the local butcher who raises their own beef, pork and chickens. A women and her college-aged daughter came in and stood next to me. The daughter begins to make gagging noises and talk loudly about how meat was murder and the place smelled like blood and terror. I finally mentioned casually that these cows were raised on grass, and allowed to age naturally without hormones, and were probably about the happiest cows around. She disagreed, and we went back and forth for a bit before I lost my temper, resulting in the above comment.

Quote of the Day

“If you want government food, go to the supermarket and buy government food.

-Joel Salatin, owner and operator of PolyFace Farms

Quote of the Day

This afternoon the Boy recieved a lengthy time out for smacking my arm when he got frustrated. At the end of the time out, I sat with him so we could go over what he had learned.

**note: the answer I'm looking for is "tell them why I'm mad"**

Maggy: If you are upset and mad with someone what can you do about it?

The Boy: You don't hit?

Maggy: No, you don't hit, that's right. What else?

The Boy: .... You say you're sorry?

Maggy: Yes, that would be nice. What else could you do?

The Boy: ....... You ask them to go ride bikes?

Maybe we should all think like 3 year olds more often...
