Driving with my daughter she asked me, 'Can we eat sheep?'. Certain I hadn't heard the question correctly, I asked her to repeat it several times, which she did getting more irate each time, 'I know we eat cows because that's where beef comes from, and pigs, that's sausage and bacon, but what about sheep?'. Not really that funny I know, but said daughter is 26!
When she was expecting my grandson, we were having a fairly random conversation about nappy rash in babies, and she asked me, with all sincerity why adults don't get nappy rash as well.
My other daughter shortly after moving in with her boyfriend phoned me to say she had given him food poisoning from cooking pork. I explained the importance of making sure it was properly defrosted and cooked, 'Oh it was properly defrosted' she said, 'I left it on the window for 3 days'. It was the height of summer.
We visited my sister-in-law on their farm a few years ago and took a neighbour's teenage daughter along to see the sheep, goats, cows and donkeys.
We were wandering around the place for about half an hour when teenager pped up that she thought she was going to see cows. She was standing looking at the herd as she spoke and took a bit of convincing that cows didn't HAVE to be black and white.
Boo, if, let's say, an adult man wore some pants that were much tighter fitting than yfronts, then it is feasable that the said adult might develop nappy rash.
I have taught them these things and a lot of others, the daughter with the question about the sheep is actually a manager in a child's nursery, I suppose we should be very afraid as to how the next generation will turn out.
