talking chicken

Yesterday, as I was preparing the kiddo’s favorite dinner, roast chicken, I was greeted by sudden protest as I was about to put he bird into the oven. “STO—OP! You’re killing him! I won’t eat it!”. I paused, wondering: ”Is this a sign of a future vegetarian on my hands??? Yes!!!”

Then, she PICKED IT UP. Like a baby. Comforted it in gentle tones. “O.k., you can put birdie into the oven now.”

During the roasting and right into dinner, she kept up a onesided conversation with the poor bird, even while she was eating it.

I don’t know what to think.
