This was a fun and funny day with my 5 year old Granddaughter I had Friday.
Wednesday night I trapped another possum and no pickup until Monday so I left it in the trap until Friday to go release. I asked my granddaughter if she wanted to take a ride with me as I also needed to go and get some chicken feed at the Tractor Supply in Laplace. So after releasing the possum we headed over to TS and when we got in there it was like walking into a candy/toy store. Well, they did have toys out for sale for Christmas. She spotted a stuffed dog that I agreed to buy for her. She was quite inquisitive about a bunch of stuff there and when she saw the farm animal sets her eyes lit up. At first she wanted me to get her one of those and then decided she wanted one with a girl farmer. Sure enough she finds several with girl farmers. Then she discovers the hunting sets which they had one for each different type of hunting. Deer, turkey, duck and even bear hunting. Then she wants one of those(which we were still only getting the stuffed dog at this point)but again still wants a girl hunter and yes, they did indeed have a girl hunter setup for deer hunting. Looking around I see a pink bb gun and not right then but I say to myself "I WILL get her a pink bb gun!" LOl...... So we finally end up leaving there with a hose head on the stick thing and is prancing around on it and even named Lily. Funny kid!
We decided to stop in at the McDonalds and she wants chicken nuggets and fries. No problem we're sitting there eating and she says she wants to go chicken hunting. Lol........ Taken aback I ask her what she said and she wants to go chicken hunting to make chicken nuggets. So I explain that chickens are raised and processed and then she decides that she wants to go deer hunting. Her dad doesn't hunt and I haven't hunted in a while but I guess that's going to change maybe next year. Again I think to myself about getting her a bb gun again(of course to be used only under adult supervision). Yesterday was her sister's one year birthday and I asked her if she still wants to go hunting and she answered yes, she wants to go deer hunting. Funny how a trip to a feed store starts something like this. She understands that it involves killing the animal but still wants to go.
I have decided that I will be getting her a Red Rider BB Gun for Christmas though.
