ON BEING HUMAN-ITARIAN.

Eating out this past weekend.

Saia commenting about Chago being a vegetarian, and how he can't get away with picking and choosing his veggies anymore.

He's a vegetarian now, she says. Therefore, by definition, he must eat ALL veggies, she says. Even the yucky ones, she says.

Out of arguments, glaring at his green beans, he gets that distracted look on his face that always tells us he's totally checked out, he's somewhere else, he's off in Chagoland...

"Ohhhhhh," he says suddenly, the epiphanic lightbulb glowing blindingly above his head and that sly smile spreading across his face.  "So nowwwww I understand what a humanitarian is."
