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!
**note: no animals were harmed in writing this post**

I am so proud to be your aunt. Sniff, sniff. Seriously, though. And how do we know that vegans are really thwarting animals' rights? Maybe animals are trying to be martyrs for some greater cause that PETA freaks can't even begin to understand because they are too busy wearing synthetic fibers and eating tofu? Meanwhile, animals are in despair because their cosmic destinies are in a tailspin because they can't fulfil what they aren't meant to carry out their predetermined fates, all because people are too lazy to chew a little longer. How sad is that. I think eating meat is the least we can do if it means getting a few more chickens into heaven. Your little 14-year-old infants in history can digest that over salad and legumes at lunch for a while (when we all know they ate steak at dinner the night before, who are they kidding?)
Note: I am not bashing vegans, just those friends in my history class who tell me I am disgusting for eating eggs. Sorry for the mixup. Sista K, vegans rock!
Hay haha it's Melissa. Nice blog. This is mine. http://www.xanga.com/wayofthefuture
Have a good day!
P.S. I still can't believe I spilt water on myself. Haha
I am just a vegan because someone told me it was HOT!!!
So my feelings certainly aren't hurt!
Just for the record, because now I'm feeling like I have to qualify my own opinion for some reason, I'm not bashing vegans either. I was merely responding to my own niece's experience, and assuming these kids were the usual immature vegans in high school who become such because "it's in style". I will try to self-edit my opinions in the future.
sometimes i wish i could come to history with you! that would be exciting! so once i tried to be a vegan... it lasted like 5 hours... seriously! i pizza is just not a pizza with out pepperoni! honestly!
Note: I am not bashing my aunt Kiki's opinion. I am sorry if it sounded like that. I love you lots and lots and lots! Have a great day!
