Carrots Are Roots???

Funny little story....

One Saturday morning I came home from the farmers market with the usual bounty. Among the items in my bag were beautiful, fresh carrots. These carrots still had their tops. As I unloaded the bags on to the counter, my step-son watched inquisitively. At the ripe old age of 11, he has a tremendous amount of intellectual curiosity and is very well versed in just about any National Geographic topic. All of this is probably why I laughed out loud when, after staring at the produce for a few minutes, he announced, "carrots are roots!"

These are the moments when you really see how far we are from our food - and then there are the moments when you realize how much further your kids are from what they eat :).
