I just remembered something that happened when we were at the Natural History Museum. One of the exhibits we saw was a demonstration of how a turtle laid her eggs on the beach. Both J and E were quite interested in it.
The final panel showed the baby turtles after they had hatched, making their way down to the sea. For the sake of realism, there were a couple of seagulls in the air, with a baby turtle in their mouth. Knowing the kind of personality J has, I was hoping that he wouldn't notice it!
No such luck. J asked why the birds had the baby turtles in their mouths. I had to explain that some of the turtles would get eaten by the birds, while trying to stress that the other baby turtles would make it into the ocean.
Not good enough for him. He got really upset! And was moping for a good period of time after that.
I have a potential vegetarian on my hands.
