Serena, reaching for another IKEA Swedish meatball, one of her new favorite food groups: “Are meatballs made of meat?”
Nathaniel, tactfully, and with a knowing glance in my direction: “Some of them are made from vegetables.”
Serena, chewing thoughtfully: “Oh.” Turning to me: “But these don’t have meat, do they, Mama?”
Me, suddenly finding my mouth is too full to utter an intelligible syllable: “Mmmph.”
Serena, satisfied, beaming: “Good.”
