This is sweet. How come this story has to come to me from India? I would hope that it came to me from parents on the street where I live. Perhaps i’m not listening hard enough:

My three year old doesn’t know to read ABC yet but he sure knows the McDonalds and KFC signs. Even though he hates burgers, he insists on getting into an outlet the moment he sees one — just for the Happy Meals, which by the way are eaten entirely by me, while he enjoys the toy and ice cream….
“Mamma, I’m your baby and you love me right…?” he asked, wanting some reassurance
“Of course…” I answered warmly with a hug.
“Egg is a baby chicken, then how can she cook her own baby?” he demanded to know, pointing a little finger at the hen, unable to hold back his tears. “Does it mean you and papa can also cook me to eat?” he wailed.
“It’s only a toy…just for playing…don’t bother about it,” I tried to pacify him, a little shaken up myself.
“I don’t like this toy — it makes me sad.” He burst into tears again.
