Deep Thoughts at Dinner

As we gathered together for our little family dinner tonight, I gazed upon my beautiful boys.

Carol: These are the wonders of my loins.

Eric: Yes.

Carol: Loin? Loins? How many loins do I have?

Eric: ...

Carol: What is my loin?

Eric: I'm not sure.

Carol: Is it similar to a pork loin?

Eric: I think so.

Carol: How many loins does a pig have? Two? I think a cow has two, because when we got that hind quarter of a grass-fed cow we got one tenderloin. I think there's one on the other side.

Eric: Okay.

Carol: But if I have two loins, where are they located, and how are they responsible for the kids?

Eric: That's a good question. I think you should check Wikipedia.

Carol: Is it in my thigh? Fruit of my loins. That doesn't make sense.

Eric: And how is that difference from Fruit of my Loom?

We were eating salmon. The omega-3s made us philosophical and smart.
