I asked my 5yo if Peppa and George had died in vain...

[SamsungAndDelilah]

... when he was so busy mucking around at tea that he completely failed to eat his pork sausage (which I don't eat).

I know IABU a bit but my DH was quite shocked that I would have traumatised him. He, on the other hand, suggested that "Peppa and George get made into sausages" would be quite a good episode.

"I wouldn't tell them that peppa and george had died to make their food though, as they are anthropomorphic representations and more like people than animals. So it's not true. Peppa and George are not what pigs are like."

Agreed! And for children who love Peppa and George its akin to telling them they have just eaten the family pet!

we keep chickens... and i ask dd if she wants chicken on a bone (drumstick) and she is happy with that.

But once, when i was preparing to cook a roast chicken she did tell me that it looked like a baby. i laughed and said that i suppose it did. I cooked it... she ate it.

did i point to the chicken in the garden and say thats what we are having for tea? Nope, didnt see the point.
