One of the parents from the Kids Club came to collect her precious cargo in the form of a six year old first grader named Cedric. His older sister, Charde was standing in the background patiently waiting for Cedric to collect his things so that they could go home for the day.
We began to chat, and the parent shared a quick story with me. Charde had come home from Kids Club one day and told her, "Mom, did you know that Ms. Jayda is a veterinarian?"
This parent was puzzled, wondering how Ms. Jayda could ever find the time to run the Community Center as a veterinarian! So, she asked her daughter, "A what?"
Charde responded, "You know, a veterinarian. She doesn't eat any meat. I think that is weird. I can't believe she doesn't eat meat."
Her mom laughed and corrected her, "You mean a vegetarian!"
Then little Cedric chimed in and said, "Meat is good. She should try it."
