At karate tonight, the instructor was talking to the kids about fitness. The conversation was pretty entertaining--particularly when Theo chimed in with his ideas about healthful eating.
Sensei Alex (the instructor): What are some things we can do to be healthy and fit?
Child #1: Exercise!
S. Alex: Yes, exercise! Great! What else?
Child #2: Eat healthy foods!
S. Alex: That's right! What are some healthy foods?
Child #2: Vegetables!
S. Alex: Right! What vegetables do you like?
Child #3: Broccoli!
S. Alex: Broccoli! I love broccoli--yes! What else?
Theo: Um, and you can also eat sausage to be healthy!
S. Alex (stifling a smile): Sausage! Well...yes. Sausage is a meat, so you can get protein from it. Now, what other vegetables do we like?
Child #4: Cucumbers! [Okay, they're a fruit, but who's checking?]
Theo: And actually, another vegetable is...sausage!
What can I say? The kid loves his sausage....
