Mommy, where do cheeseburgers come from?

We spent today "down on the farm" celebrating Grandpa Ken's birthday. A day like this usually involves checking the fields (Connor loves checking the corn and the beans), riding the 4-wheeler (one of my top 10 nightmares) and feeding the cows. So Grandpa took Connor, Riley and their cousins to feed the cows. When they were finished feeding the cows, Connor came to me with a very perplexed look on his face and said, "Sometime when we come back, Buster's (one of the cows, I can only assume) gonna be a cheeseburger!"

So now I have to attempt to explain that particular arc in "the circle of life," as my wonderful brother-in-law sang.

And I guess my son is about to become a vegetarian.
