Allergies

True story...I heard it yesterday.

A young family with their first child discovers in fear what most parents dread: a life threatening allergy...upon his first sip of cow milk, his throat closed and the emergency room was visited. After months of trying different foods and loosing lots of weight, they discovered he was allergic to many fundamental foods.

With serious modification the the family's eating habits and such, the boy improved and is doing very well. This was so strange to them as no one in the immediate family line has any food allergies.

At about four and a half years old, the boy decided he wanted a cat. He had never been so excited about anything in his life. He would ask every day, several times a day and thought it would be the best thing in the world.

About a week into this his mom sits him down and tries to explain that she is allergic to cats and the will not be able to get one.

He looks up at her in confusion and says "But we're not going to _eat_ the cat!"
