The Thing About The Chicken and The Egg
Here's the thing about the kids in my history class: They know
EVERYTHING!!!! Crazy, huh? They have only been alive for like 14 years and they are always right! It's pretty cool, I mean come on, I wish I could be as smart as them!
Like the other day...
I overheard them talking about PETA. (I don't try to overhear them talk, but they just sit there I have nothing better to do than listen. Who needs history anyway?) They were talking about how animals have rights and we, as humans need to respect those rights. The confersation went something like this:
Chris: "Hey, Shad* (names were once changed, but I decided to change them back to how they were) Are you member of PETA?"
Shad: "Heck* yes" (words edited for the sake of my family blog)
Chris: "That crazy* (edited) sweet!"
Courtney: "So does that like... hold on a sec, I someone's texting me..."
The coach turned history teacher: "Courtney, put away your phone and watch the movie I just popped into the VCR because I'm too lazy to actually teach a real lesson!"
Courtney: "You mean that like you don't eat meat?"
Chris: "I don't"
Shad: "I do"
Alexandrea: "What?! Are you fo real? That's gross man. It's inhumane!"
Chris: "I know man. What's up?"
Shad: "I like need my protein and my parents makes me eat it. But don't worry, I don't eat eggs."
Alexandrea: "Good. People who eat eggs are disgusting! I can't imagine ever eating a little baby chicken!"
**I couldn't take it anymore. I just had to jump in!**
Me: "Um, don't mean to butt in or anything, but the eggs "disgusting" people eat aren't baby chickens. They aren't fertalized yet."
Alexandrea: "Right. But it still is gross. Do
you eat chicken?"
Me: "Yup. It's pretty good."
Chris: "That's sick! How do you think the chicken or the chicken's babies feel about that?"
Me: said through tears from laughter "Are you joking me?"
Chris: "No really. How do we know that animals don't communicate with each other? How do we know they don't have feelings about us eating them and wearing their fur as coats? How do we know that they don't care that people take their rear* (edited) and wear it on our shoes?"
Me: "Whatever" as I roll my eyes
Coach: "Shut up! I'm trying to Google something on my laptop while you waste your time watching this movie about the Cold War!"
**And Scene**
Sorry for the long piece of dialouge, but this is no exaggeration! Everything on this post that was said is 100% true (well maybe I misinterpreted The Coach) I know that I said "Whatever" but this what I should have said:
"Listen! I don't care if you know
EVERYTHING! I don't care that you are only 14 years old and are
SMARTER than me! I don't care if a chicken cares if he is chopped up and deep fried! I will still eat him and his
unfertillized babies!"
Until next post!
