Background - I had just picked my youngest son up from McDonalds and his friends were on the sidewalk as we drove out of the shopping center. I pointed out one friend who we hadn’t seen for awhile, and asked my son if he knew what this kid had been up to lately. He said that he had found out that this kid had become a vegetarian since we last saw him. This kid is only in seventh grade and I said that I thought that was pretty cool for a seventh grader. I told my son that there is certainly nothing wrong with becoming a vegetarian at his age, but that this kid is the last one I ever thought would become a vegetarian at all! I told him that I thought it was interesting and showed a certain character and discipline to do that. My son agreed and the short conversation came to an end.
S.C.O.U.T. - We sat quietly for no more than ten seconds when a car passed me and then changed lanes in front of us. The license plate on the car read “H8MEAT”! My son and I just looked at one another to make sure we hadn’t dreamed it. Nope. We had both seen it! What truly uncanny timing that we should see that license plate at that moment.
My goofy dog Scout believes himself to also be a vegetarian. I don’t have the heart to tell him
