Took the kid I was working with today to a local museum-sort place. There was a display on the history of the Newfoundland fishery. The kid made some sort of comment about it being scary, so I asked him where he thought fishsticks came from. He was quiet. I joked with him that if they didn't fish, I wouldn't be able to have my snack later (showing him a can of
kippers I had in my satchel).
He looked up at me with a frown and told me very sternly \"You shouldn't hurt fishes!\"
My vegetarian friends would be so proud.
He had no problem with the section on whaling and sealing though. Strange, that.
