Erika and "cats = food"
So last Friday was a snow day for both Erika and I, which I wrote about in a previous entry, but I forgot the story that happened during lunch with Liza. We had gone to Burger King and one of the games they had suggested on the Kids Meal paper bag was to play the "Food ABC Game" which to summarize goes something like: Player 1 names a food that begins with A, Player 2 names a food that begins with B, etc. and you keep the game going.
Liza's all like: "yeah, let's play this! I'll go first-- Apples!'
I say: "B-- Bananas!"
And Erika chews her hamburger carefully, then responds, "C-- Cats!"
We try to resist bursting into laughter, and Liza makes a comment about how, y'know, is it culturally insensitive of her to ask if Asians eat cats, and should she question the fact that Erika thinks cats are food...?
I'm like "OMG we do not eat cats!!!!!" **furiously laughing/blushing**
But then yesterday (Tuesday), I was in the car with Brian and Erika, and we're driving to the mall to buy new Stride Rite sneakers for Erika, and we start up the game again, with Brian saying "Applesauce" and I say "Burgers", and then Erika goes "Cats!"
** facepalm **
For the record, other ABC items that Erika considers food: E is for "elk", L is for "lamb chops", R is for "rabbit", S is for "snake", and Z is for "zebra". In fact, I think almost all her food items involved some sort of meat... including cat!
