More on horses and being dead.

Miranda: Mommy, why do you get dead when you eat a horse?

Me: Because the horse it too big.

Miranda: But what if you ate a baby horse? Would you get dead too?

Me: Probably. A baby horse is still pretty big.

Miranda: But you could cut up the horse so you could eat.

Miranda: But I don't think the horse would like that very much.

Miranda: You could pet the horse. Horses like it when you pet them. But not when you cut them up.
