As we are running errands;
Mom: Ack, why are the banks closed? Ugh, Columbus Day.
Girls: Why do we have school on Columbus Day?
Mom: I don't know.
Ellie to Phoebe: We should celebrate Hanukkah so we can get out of school.
Phoebe to Ellie: Ellie, but we aren't Catholic.
Phoebe: So Mom, what's wrong with being a vegetarian and wearing leather?
Mom: Being a vegetarian means you are against eating animals and using them for clothing.
Phoebe: So what is leather made of?
Mom: Cowhide
Phoebe: Ok, that is disgusting... what part of the cow is cowhide?
Mom: The skin.
Phoebe: Oh good to know. Wonderful. I am a vegetarian from now on.
