My sweet Jocelyn is a born animal rights activist. She loves all animals and hates to think of them being hurt. It has taken her quite awhile to come to terms with the fact that chicken nuggets have chicken in them and hamburger is cow. And don’t even try and tell her the deer on the sides of the road is dead because she KNOWS it is just sleeping. She has a tender heart and I love her for it.
Our conversation in the van today:
Jocelyn: Mom, what is the most dangerous creature on earth?
Me: I don’t know.
Pause...
Me: I think we might be, Jocelyn. I mean humans.
Jocelyn: Nu uh Mom! It’s the meat eaters.
Me: Uh...honey...
Jocelyn: WE ARE NOT MEAT EATERS!
Me: Yes we are, honey.
Jocelyn: Well, we are not the mean kind of meat eaters!
I think that must make cows feel better, don’t you? It’s the nice meat eaters eating them. Not the mean ones.
That's cute Rachel. Your little girl Jocy is such a cute girl.
ReplyDeleteBabe, I think the next time I eat food (as it will have some kind of animal in it) I will be sure to smile while chewing so as not to give the impression that I am being mean.
ReplyDeleteWhat a kid. I fear what her outlook would be if we owned a farm. I better cal my Uncle Deloy and tell him we are coming for an educational visit.
lol, that is so funny. I'm happy to know I am a nice meat eater.
ReplyDeleteGot to love what kids think about things...
