We were eating dinner with my French friend one evening when my son was about seven years old, and she had made escargot. She brought it in on a plate, and my son looks at it, looks at her, turns pale and says, "SNAILS?!?!?"
She says, "Dylan, mon ami, in France snails are a delicacy."
He doesn't miss a beat and says, "Janique, my friend, in Wyoming snails are pets."
We almost died laughing.
"We give dogs the time we can spare, the space we can spare and the love we can spare. And in return, dogs give us their all. It's the best deal man has ever made" - M. Facklam
"We are raised to honor all the wrong explorers and discoverers - thieves planting flags, murderers carrying crosses. Let us at last praise the colonizers of dreams."- P.S. Beagle
"All that is gold does not glitter, Not all those who wander are lost; The old that is strong does not wither, Deep roots are not reached by the frost. From the ashes a fire shall be woken, A light from the shadows shall spring; Renewed shall be blade that was broken, The crownless again shall be king." - J.R.R. Tolkien
