Hard Pass
Eli 17.8 was home for lunch."We're having lamb chops for dinner," Gloria said.
"Nope," Eli said.
"Hard pass," I said.
"Why?" she asked.
"I don't like eating child meat," I said. Eli started laughing. "Also, the name reminds me of what happens to the baby lamb."
"No!" she said. "Don't say it that way!"
"He's kind of right," Eli said.
"What about cows?" she asked. "They're cute, too."
"Wait, is cuteness now a positive when considering whether to eat something?" I asked.
"That's not what I meant," she said.
"I'd like to move away from child-based food products," I said.
