Baby Logic #75 – Mutation
Ro and MrsM were discussing eating habits in the car, and how people from different religions and countries have different diets. In passing, MrsM said, “You know, I used to be a vegetarian till I was 15. I only became a meat eater after that.”
Ro: “WHAT?! That’s not possible. Did you change your DNA?!”
A brief discussion on choice vs. DNA followed, though MrsM says she would much rather have lied and projected herself as the latest mutant from X-Men.
