When we picked up our chicks, our girls asked what we were going to do with them. Hubby and I explained that we would cuddle them while they were small, but that soon they would be very big and unfriendly chickens … and that we would eventually eat them.
Our youngest, Charlotte, was silent for a while after hearing this. We worried if this had been a rather abrupt introduction to the reality of food.
Finally she nodded to herself, and announced, “That’s okay, but I don’t want to eat any eyes.”
Fair enough.
Haha, I love this!! The sweet fears and considerations of a child …
