Mummy, how do fish get from swimming to being eaten by me?

[Aligater]

My 3.5 year old knows as DH goes fishing and brings them home in a bucket sometime still swiming. She has watched him kill and filet fish and is more likely to eat 'daddy caught' ones than shop ones

aarrhhhhh this is so hard i think if i told her they were killed shed freak abit, and with inlaws dog being put down last week (she understands animals dying) i hope when i say they die she doesnt confuse pets dying and other animals being killed for us to eat.
oh and i have to give her an answer tomorrow as i told her id find the answer for her tonight... (she asked me if id find the answer on the computer )

Olive, my DS1’s favourite food is crispy fish skin. When he was about 3 he said to the goldfish “I want to eat you and eat your skin”. Then when it died (when he was about 3 ½) he said “Can we eat him now?”. Sorry, that probably hasn’t helped you at all, but I just wanted you to know that my DS1 was certainly aware of the concept of killing, death and eating at an early age.

What sort of monster are you breeding??

PS You might want to hide your cat

ETA: I am pretty sure Hannibal Lector used that same line on his dates...."I want to eat you and eat your skin"

I know, I know, it was chilling, he said it all Hannibal Lecter* like too.

*Please note: I do not let my children watch movies such a Silence of the Lambs.
