Chickens Don't Grow on Trees

"What's for dinner Mama?" Aiden asked on the way home from the pool.

"We're having pork chops with green beans and rosemary potatoes that came right out of the garden. That's pretty cool isn't it?"

"You mean they came right out of the ground? That is pretty cool. It's too bad you can't grow meat, then we could have homemade everything. Can you grow meat?"

"Well, yes."

"Really? How does meat grow?"

"You don't really grow it but you can raise animals like they do on farms and then eat them," I explained.

"Wow! I would NOT want to be a chicken or a cow.”
