Ethical Dilemma In The OANST Household
Posted 02-16-2009 at 12:32 PM by OANST
Abbey came to a realization yesterday. It occurred to her that when we say we are having chicken for dinner, we are actually eating a chicken. You could actually see the realization come into her eyes and then she says "You don't eat chickens! Chickens are friends!". So we tell her that lots of people eat chicken and that it's good for you to have meat. Her response is "No. You don't eat chickens, Mama".
We decided to take the conversation further and told her that hamburger is made from cow. Predictably, the reply was "No, Daddy. Cows are friends. You don't eat cows". So I told her what leather is and that many people wear it. "No, Daddy. You don't wear cows". This is my favorite part: She then says "And you don't eat elephants, either". "Can I ride an elephant?", I ask. "Yes", she says. She thinks about it for a minute and then adds "You can hug them, too". I love my kid. |
