My 5 year old daughter, Sarah, yesterday discovered 4 new things thanks to her elder 7 year old brother:
- That beef comes from cows that have been killed.
- Her school shoes are made of leather that come from a cow that has been killed.
- Chicken meat comes from “hens” that have been killed.
- Tuna comes from a fish called Tuna that has been killed.
These facts, of course, shocked her terribly and caused quite a commotion around the home. So much so that she declared that she will never:
- Eat mummy’s chicken curry.
- Have Daddy’s pasta sauce (made from minced cow and off-the-shelf sauce)
- Wear her school shoes.
- Have tuna sandwiches.
She vowed to bring all the cows, chickens and fish and keep them with her safe from harm.
Farmers will be sad and crying too, she said. Aww.
That was yesterday.
Today, she had pasta and my pasta sauce for dinner.
Kids!
