Conversation tonight, while eating the leftovers from the ham I made* the other night:

Sherry: I’m so happy you’re eating all those vegetables. Are you going to eat some ham too? It’s really good, even when it’s cold!
Hayley: Yes, it’s good.
Sherry: I know.
Hayley: But is it a Maple Leaf ham?
Sherry: What?!

A Maple Leaf ham?! Since when does she know her brands?

Sherry: Uh, actually I think it was. Why did you ask that? here did you hear that?
Hayley: I don’t know.
Sherry: Where the heck do you come from?
Hayley: Where do YOU come from?
Sherry: From my Mommy!
Hayley: I come from my Mommy too!
Sherry: Yes, you do.
Hayley: How did you make me?
Sherry: Uhhh. (crap.) Hey, are you done? Want some dessert?

Whew. Dodged a bullet long enough to figure out an age-appropriate way to explain that one. Oy.

*Easiest and most delicious ham I have ever made. I threw a bone-in smoked, uncooked picnic ham into the crockpot, dumped two small cans of quartered pineapple slices with the juice on top, added about half a can of water to that, and covered it an cooked it on low for about 9 hours or so. It was amazing. It was so tender that it started falling apart when George tried to move it from the crockpot to the serving tray, and when I went to pack up the leftovers that night, the bone fell out, completely clean. It was awesome and I am really looking forward to trying that again.
