[QUOTE="Star*, post: 526485, member: 4964"] I just thought of something SFR -when you said the sign about the LOBSTERS........When Dude was very little - we used to shop at a place in FL called KASH and KARRY. I don't think they are around any more. However they used to have lobster tanks near the meat /seafood department. When we'd stroll by there with our buggy (grocery cart) Dude would get SO upset. See I raised the Junior Marlin Perkins of the South and upon seeing the caged/tanked Lobsters he started to cry. ( I think he was about 18 months old) and he wept, and sobbed, and just those little tears that you know they're upset, and batting gigantic brown eyelashes and big brown eyes. I said "Honey whats wrong?" and he said "Mommy - why won't they let the HAMSTERs go free?" I had NO idea what he was talking about so I pushed the cart back to the place he was pointing to (snotty nose and all) and we watched the "hamsters" just sitting there and I said "OH those Hamsters!!!? Well I think those are here JUST so people can see how pretty they are." and well that wasn't a good enough answer. He got upset and told the seafood manager "You shouldn't keep hamsters they're going to miss their Mommy!" We both chuckled a little and the manager said "Well I'll tell you what how about if I find them a home after you leave?" and THAT seemed to make Dude happy. HOWEVER the next time we were in there - it happened all over again." It was so sweet and innocent - HOW could I possibly eat someones "Son" after that? Dude would have passed out. And obvioulsy we never made it to Red lobster too much due to lack of funds - We even found Talapia on the banks of a river one day and he had me wading nearly waist deep in muck trying to find all the fish I could to throw them back in what water there was so they wouldn't die. To this DAY he still calls them HAMSTERS. [/QUOTE]
