This thread is funny!
When my son was around 20 months old at the time and wanting to know the name of everything. We were eating in a booth next to a window and he started pestering his younger cousin when I told him to "Please eat your chicken."
He had an inquisitive look on his face that made me wonder what was wrong.
He pointed to his plate and said "Chicken?"
I said, "Yes. Eat your chicken."
He then looked outside the window and pointed at some pidgeons and said, "Chicken?"
I think I was trying to hide the look of dread on my face wondering if he had made that connection of eating something that was alive.
I told him, "No sweetie. That is a pidgeon. Now eat your chicken."
