Resolved, never to walk near my wife without touching her, so long as it depends on me.
gotta start somewhere
…lost another chicken last night. was pretty upset over the last time Hungry Raccoon had his midnight snack, so we were a little anxious about what she’d say this time. I had a talk with her before about animals and what they do, and that it’s not “wrong”, we’re just not on the same page as they are when it comes to things like eating raw meat and having technology like refrigerators and conveniences like grocery stores. Simply put, raccoons eat chickens and that’s the way it is. I can’t interrupt him and suggest the compost pile as an alternative.
You can’t reason with infants or raccoons. They’re just not logical.
So this morning, we broke the news and the outcome was better than expected.
6 year old: “It’s ok, mom. I’m ok with this. He was probably hungry, and he was just doing what God made him to do.”
Bless your simple little mind. I can only train her to think like this for a few precious years.
