Point of Clarification

The story below caused considerable confusion for my poor Dad.  I guess it does bear mentioning that I was cooking link breakfast sausage.  Also, this city girl continues to baffle her farmer father with my explanation that sausage is made from a cow when we all know it is made from pigs.  My bad.  He is equally confused by my high heels and distressed jeans.  What can a girl do? 

The Funny Things They Say

This is the recent conversation we had right before dinner while I was making a breakfast for dinner fare.  It started with indistinct whispering....
  
Gage - "Luke....that is not true!"
Luke - "Yes it is Gage."
Gage - "Mom! (insert whiny voice)  Luke says that sausage is the cow's penis.  That CANNOT be true......is it?!?!  That is gross."
Luke - "Well, that's what it looks like to me."

After much laughing I told the boys that sausage is really ground up cow parts squirted into a thin casing and after I got done explaining what sausage is really made of I wasn't sure which explanation was more gross.  By the look on the boy's face....they felt the same.
