What a hoot! Reminds me of when my youngest sister was about 3-4 and we had a family goose cleaning business (most were dead already). Someone brought in a crate of live white ducks they wanted cleaned and the only kicker was we had to kill them first. She would cuddle the ducks, hug them, pet them and when she thought they were suffiently loved she would hand them over and say "Ok now you can kill them"....it was sad and funny all in the same breath. Glad you have a sense of humor.
