A recent trip saw we-the-family enjoying a long car ride and the subsequent conversation that usually happens on longer than your average trip to Target car rides.
We'd been camping and discussing the wildlife we saw on our adventure.
Cardinals, snakes, orb weavers, armadillos, raccoon, and squirrels.
"Mama, are squirrels food?" asked Boo's big sister.
"Well," replied Mama, "some people consider them a food source".
"Mama?" she asked again. "But, Mama, do *we* eat squirrels?"
"NO!" shouted the baby, without pause, from the backseat.
The rest of the family was shocked, stunned into silence and then laughter.
It was the loudest "no" we-the-family have ever heard. In fact, it could possibly have been the loudest, clearest, statement of anything we've heard from our tiny Isla.
And she is, of course, correct. *We* do not eat squirrels.
"Iwah nah eah woowuhs".
