"Hearty" Chili

Dinner wasn't ready. Elizabeth had a babysitting job and needed to eat quickly. I suggested she make herself some Chili, Chips, & Cheese (her favorite). She asked me if we had chili & I told her she would find a whole case of it in the pantry. After approximately 30 seconds, she hollered that there was no chili in the pantry. I gave specific directions for her to locate it. Still the chili eluded her. Ray decided to help her out and went downstairs to point out how easy it is to find a case of chili. Ray returned to me to report that Elizabeth had really found the chili. She had read the label: "Hearty Turkey Chili" and interpreted that to mean that we'd purchased chili made of Turkey Heart. She was holding out for the familiar Nalley's label: "Original Chili." We had a good laugh. She is now relieved to know that I wasn't trying to feed her heart.
