Our eldest grandson (10 yrs old and very intelligent), on returning from his friends house, had a discussion with his parents which went something like this;
Nathan (to Mum); "I don't want that chicken for dinner"
Mum; "Why not, you always enjoy it?"
Nathan; "It looks like a real animal, Cameron's Mum gives him chicken which does not look like an animal. In fact I think I'll stop eating all animals!"
Dad; "Fine but that means no more McDonalds"
Nathan; "That's OK, we can go to KFC"
Dad; "What do you think the C in KFC stands for? Also there will be no more Chinese take-aways and you know how much you love spare ribs."
Nathan; "That's not the same because they're human and they don't need them"
The poor lad now claims he said it as a joke.
