Ha! We only spell things that will cause a riot, like “outside,” “park,” or “cookie.” I make them sit in the way back of the car so they can’t horn in on our conversations.

My SIL was a vegetarian for years, then she got into clean eating, where she eats only natural foods, nothing processed, nothing she can’t pronounce on the ingredients list. She’s always been fit and tiny, but that girl got LEAN. It’s kind of expensive to do though. And I admit, I usually go for easy with the kiddos.

It has been TOO LONG since I’ve been to your blog, Missy! This post was so entertaining. I never thought about how close those two words were to each other. It sounds like a conversation I would have at my house!

Oh I miss the spelling-out days…now our oldest can spell, so we either have to speak super cryptically (at which point usually one of the adults in the conversation has no idea what the other is talking about) or save the conversation for later (at which point we usually forget).

As for vegetarianism, we are not totally…but I do love to cook from the Moosewood series (I know, they are probably passe by now…but I still love those cookbooks!).

Never, ever forget to spell words. A reader on my blog told me that they use the military phonetic alphabet, which gives them a few more years to have secret parent talks when kids are around. But it will take so much longer. For example, your blog name would be:

Whiskey Oscar November Delta Echo Romeo Foxtrot Romeo India Echo November Delta

*whew*

We are just starting to have to spell things around our oldest who is three. It would probably be easier to wait until she is asleep to talk about some things since she hates when we do that!

We can’t hear each other when our kids are awake. Huh? What? Our kids are so loud.

I was a vegetarian for many years. Now, I do eat meat sometimes, but we have a few veggie meals every week. I’ll have to think of sites for you. I’m to the point of relying on scribbled recipes on messy notecards. LOL

That’s pretty funny. We call vegetarians “presbyterians” in our house — and I couldn’t tell you why.

Sounds like you all just coined a phrase. Niiiice.

Really cute Missy. I am a lifelong vegetarian and would love to send you recipes over e-mail. I’ve never known the taste of meat so I don’t know what I am missing. There are plenty of alternatives to get protein. You just have to find what works best for you. If you are interested in the recipes, just let me know.

I couldn’t handle being a vegetarian. I crave meat sometimes. I’m too weak to deny my cravings! We spell a little bit around Julia, but mostly we just talk about inappropriate things after bed time. She still goes to sleep at 7:45. Mom and Dad have lots of time for the grown up conversation. That has a lot of who’s-on-first too!
