All right, you know, I've been going through a tough time at home.

There was a difficult moment with my daughter, a few last week.

We were sitting down in the couch.

It's kind of a kind of a parent thing scary.

I guess we were sitting down in the couch and she turns me out of the blue and she tells

me, is my seven year old daughter, she tells me she wants to be a vegetarian.

And now, she didn't know the word actually at first.

She said that she said, Daddy, what's that, when someone only eats vegetables?

And I said, vegetarian?

And she said, yeah, I'm that.

That's what I want to be.

Of course, I'm thinking to myself, no daughter of mine.

No daughter of mine is going to be a vegetarian.

But I realized there were signs leading up to this.

For example, earlier last summer, I was out fishing with her and she caught, like, it

was like a blue gill or something.

And she pulled the hook out and I guess caused some internal bleeding.

It happens through the fish back in, catching release and the fish bob back up to the surface

and was just laying there.

Right.

And then she pointed to the fish and said, Daddy, why is the fish laying there?

I said, oh, he's probably sleeping.
