Scene: Mom & Little Lamb in the kitchen, cooking breakfast together.
Mom: Oooh. There’s a fly…(running to get the zapper).
LL: What?
Mom: Correction,
There WAS a fly in the house.
LL: Did you kill it?!
Mom: Yep.
LL: Why???
Mom: Because I didn’t
want it to lay its eggs in my house, or to land on my food and spit up all over
it, or…
LL: Why not just let
it free!? It could have had little babies;
God made it like that. Imagine if you
were living in its belly… You could have just killed a million
lives. It should be flying outside like
it’s supposed to be.
Mom: (after a moment of silence) You’re my little
St. Francis.
LL: Well, I would never touch it.
Mom: Do you mean
physically & literally “touch” it, or to hurt it “touch it”.
LL: Both. (pause)
Well, unless it ate my favorite kind of cake.
Mom: LOL (loudly)
LL: (thoughtfully
pausing). Just kidding.
:o)

That is so profound and sweet at the same time! Children like your Little Lamb assure us that yup, biological diversity has some hope! Btw, that's a nice collection of shoes there :-)
