"What do you want for lunch today" I asked the kid.
her: "I want that black meat!"
me: "What's black meat?"
her: "That meat that was in my hamburger at the place where we got hamburgers and milk shakes."
me: "Oh okay. You want a hamburger?"
her: "No, I just want the black meat and nothing else. I don't even want princess snacks today."
me: "Okay, let me get this straight. You want just a cold disk of cooked hamburger meat for lunch and nothing else?"
her: "Yeah. Good."
I considered sending her to school with just a patty of 'black meat' and a prayer. But reconsidered when I imagined the look on the teacher's face as she pulled out the floppy, cold, sad little patty of black meat from her lunch bag. I bet I'd get a call from Ms. Betty.
I sent her to school with a turkey sandwich and you know what? I heard about it later. She was none too pleased when she didn't have her 'black meat' for lunch.

Will you please blog about something new...I get nauseous every time I see that piece of meat! I may never look at hamburger patties the same again!
Now I'm all hungry.
