This is how the conversation went on the way home from church last night . . .
Sophia: Dawson, did you know that God created the workers that build the houses?
Dawson : Yes (sigh)
Sophia: Dawson, did you know that God created all the grass and flowers and stuff?
Dawson: Yes (bigger sigh)
Sophia: Dawson, did you know that God created all the food we eat?
Dawson: Well, Sophia, he didn't really create all the food. He creates the animals then we eat them.
Sophia: No, Dawson, God gave us hamburgers.
Dawson: (sigh, slight smirk) No actually Sophia God gave us the cow and we kill it and then we eat hamburgers.
Sophia: No, Dawson, God gives us the hamburgers. How would we kill a cow anyway?
Dawson: Probably with a gun. And then we cut it up to make hamburgers.
Sophia: No, DAWSON, God gives us the hamburgers. We don't kill animals to eat.
Dawson: We kill the cows. God gave us cows.
Sophia: God gave us hamburgers.
Dawson: We kill the cows to make the hamburgers.
Sophia: No, God gives us hamburgers.
on . . . and on . . .and on
Mama: Dawson, just let God give us the hamburgers please.

Like Sophia, I prefer to think that God gave us hamburgers.
In Middle School I learned the hard way how we get hamburgers ( I realize I knew before that but my grandpa went and bought cows and then we earned the money from their sale for college when they sold... I thought they went to another loving family farm... my grandpa informed me McDonalds) I have not had a hamburger since Middle School!!!
