Kids are funny that way. If they know where all the food comes from they often have less of a problem than we expect.
I know of a family which had three laying hens, and then they bought three "frying chickens". The five-year-old daughter was used to tending the laying hens, so she also took over tending the other chickens. Now the laying hens were, to the girl, pets that also layed eggs. The parents were worried she'd become attached to the chickens destined for Sunday dinner....
So..., A few days after the eatin' chickens arrived, the daughter was feeding them, and one of the three pecked the girl's foot just above where her tennis shoe ended. She jumped back a bit, and rubbed her foot where the chicken had pecked, and the mom told her to come inside so mom could get a look at what the chicken had done, and as the five-year-old daughter left the pen, she looked at the ornery chicken that had pecked her foot, and said,
"You're First!"
:haha:
