Mmmm, dirt!

This afternoon I explained the way food grows to a few two and three year olds.

"You know carrots? Well, they grow underground, and when people pick them, they yank them out of the DIRT!"

Of course, they thought that was disgusting. Food and dirt? No way.

Except for one of them, who seemed to like the idea. With a huge smile on her face, she picked up a handful of dirt and shoved it in her mouth.
