My six-year-old daughter is truly an animal lover, and anytime I can get her "goat" with a bit of fake animal cruelty it's always a gas.
We were eating in a nice chinese place with an awesome fish tank up front...I asked each of my kids which of the fish was their favorites...I in turn got their responses and didn't think that much about it, that is, until after dinner my daughter asked me what was the dish that she enjoyed so much...so...I told her it was the fish that she picked out! I think her mouth dropping open was actually audible! I let her stew for at least a minute until I got the "mom" eye-roll and had to let her off!
I know...I know...but you you just gotta mess with them...It's part of the entertainment package!
