Cut like a lamb

This morning I asked Hannah if she wanted her strawberries whole or cut. (She has a high-maintenance vein from her father and sometimes cares about such things.) She said, "Cut, like a lamb." I said, "Cut like a lamb????" "Yes! Cut, like the lamb!" I then remembered that we'd been talking about shearing sheep and how the shepherd cuts off their fleecy wool... I love the connections she makes!
