MMMM, bacon

Grace was eating bacon this morning and asked "What animal is this?" I was caught off guard because we have never had the explicit conversation about meat coming from animals. Because Grace loves the drama, I feared her reaction to the truth. So I replied nonchalantly, "Pig" and cringed while awaiting the condemnation and tears. She never missed a beat and said, "Pig is good." You bet it is. I have succeeded in spite of myself. Look here world, more good parenting by omission.
