As we were driving home from dinner, we saw some baby cows. I reminded Ellie that Great Grandpa had some new calves at the farm. Being cheeky, I also told her we should go visit them before we eat them.
Ellie: Does grandpa kill cows at the barn?
Me: Grandpa doesn't kill the cows at the farm, he takes them to a place that does it.
Dan: They slaughter the cows.
Ellie: What does slaughter mean?
Dan: That is what it is called when they kill cows before we eat them.
Ellie (wailing): I don't want to eat animals!!
Dan: Ellie, Heavenly Father gaves us animals to eat.
Ellie: I think I'll just eat dirt.
Me: Dirt?
Dan: Animals aren't bad for you Ellie.
Ellie: I know, dirt isn't either.
