Do you remember when your child discovered he was a carnivore?
I don't remember exactly how old Tommy was but he was but he was pretty young. We were having dinner in the living room and watching cartoons. The chicken in the cartoon did something funny and Tommy said to me and the sibs "That's a funny chicken". Coincidentally, my wife walked in from the kitchen and asked Tommy if he would like another piece of chicken. He laughed and said "chicken". He looked at his plate and then looked at me, not smiling this time and asked "chicken?". I nodded. He was having a "soylent green" awakening and I felt like I betrayed him.
