Real Time: 'Tis The Season

 

Tonight at supper, we experienced a golden exchange. Background: I made chili for supper with elk meat that a former co-worker of John's just gave us. 

Aidan began eating and commented, "Hmm, pretty good."

Me: "It tastes different than normal because there's elk meat in it." 

Aidan, eyes widening in slightly disgusted confusion, "ELF meat?!"

Then I just laughed for a while.
