Overheard at Ithaca dinner table:

Dad to 3 year old: "If you don't eat your meat, you'll be a vegetarian
and you'll have to start eating more beans and tofu.
3 year old: "But Daddy, I don't want to be a vegetarian!  I want to be
a storm chaser in the spring and summer and a flower scientist in the
fall and winter!"
-Janelle

Which came first, the chicken or the ....?

Vegetarian girl: "What does chicken taste like?"
Dad: "It tastes like tofu."

Naptime

Five year old boy: "Yeah, I'm a vegetarian too! I sleep in the winter!"

Octopus watch out!

Girl: "We eat eggs and drink milk. We're octo-lavo vegetarians."

A clarification

At the school cafe. Student cafe worker: "Just because we're vegetarians doesn't mean we don't kill animals. We just don't eat them."
