With Easter just around the corner I thought I would share a few pondering from Aaron re Chickens:
Aaron has happily eaten chicken since he was able to but just recently we were at my mum's house and he looked at the Roast Chicken on the dinner table and asked:
'Is that a chicken that was alive once?'
When I replied yes he replied with:
'I am not going to have any thank you, poor chicken'
He hasn't eaten much chicken since that day.
He has also told me 'Chickens don't have a great life do they mummy?, they are born so we can eat them'
At his school they had some eggs which hatched into chicks while the children were watching. I commented how sweet that was and Aaron agreed with me. Then his face changed and looking really upset said:
'But those chicks were taken from their mummy and daddy, that is so sad isn't it mummy? Poor chicks'
He seems to be developing a real awareness of the way the world works and displaying some beautiful sensitivity.
