I was driving my mother back from a trip to Austin and saw this in the back window of an SUV when we stopped for breakfast.  It just screamed Little Britches. :D

Vegetarian
By Purple Lacey

"Buck?"

Buck Wilmington took his attention from the red light at the intersection his truck was currently stopped at and turned it onto the little boy belted into his car seat on the bench seat next to him.

"Yeah, Little Bit?" he answered looking at the small black-haired child looking out the front window, brow wrinkled with concentration.

"What’s a veg’taran?"

"Huh?" Buck said in confusion.

A little finger raised to point to the car stopped ahead of them at the light. Buck turned his head to follow the pointing finger and laughed. The car in front of them had a black and white bumper sticker that read, "Save a Cow...Eat a Vegetarian."  Buck chuckled at the slogan and then grinned down at the boy now looking up at him in question.

"Vegetarian. It means some one who doesn’t eat meat," Buck informed him.

JD looked at him curiously. "Then what do they eat?"

Buck shrugged and replied, "Vegetables I guess."

JD looked shocked. "Just veg’ables!"

Buck nodded, biting his cheek to keep from laughing at the boy’s horrified expression.

"EWWWWWW!"

Buck couldn’t hold it back anymore. The truck rocked with the force of his laughter.
