I was recently at a restaurant with my 19 year-old son, and he was looking at the menu and asked me what veal was. I was surprised that by this age he did not know, but we had not really eaten it at home, so it made sense. I told him that it was baby cow. His response was quite shocking to me and made me rethink all of the schooling we had paid for him and all of my parenting to this point. He replied, "So chicken?" What the heck?!? Does he have ears...well, ears that can hear, and if so, are they working right now? Geeze kid.
Well after talking to him for a few minutes, I realized he was reading a part of the menu that was headed "Veal and Chicken", so that kind of made a little sense, but.... I will say that he did realize his mistake as soon as he said it, so at least there is that.
