Alas, poor Stuart

Today, while standing by the kitchen window I noticed a mouse running across our lawn on top of the snow. I called my two daughters to come see it, but by the time they got to the window a hawk was shredding the poor thing to pieces. My kids didn't stop crying for two hours. FML

That sounds like a traumatic experience, especially if they had just finished watching Ratatouille or something. I totally would have cried.

Theres a line between not caring about the life of a rodent and being sadistic. You crossed it.

This is a valuable life lesson. Hamburgers do not grow on trees made of smiles in hamburglarland.

I know how you feel, there was a cat (a neighbours somewhere) that would always come around our front porch, and if my daughter was outside, it would follow her around. (We can't have cats due to my severe allergy) and then one day, on the road directly outside our house, it got smoked by a truck. It was there for an hour or so until someone came and removed it. She stood at the window and cried for ages. and even after it was gone, there was still a big mess where it had been.. I felt so bad for her.

So the comments ripping on little children for being ******* are kept and deemed A Ok but mine defending the innocence of little kids gets take on off. That makes sense. *waits for this comment to get moderated*

and when did you learn that??? not all kids NEED to know about this at a young age just that they shouldnt go near it or let it inside theyll learn when theyre older

That, my friends, is NATURE. I saw a hawk eat a mouse at that age at a nature preserve. Thought it was the prettiest birdy ever and didn't even mind the mess on its feet and beak - I figured it had to eat, and my mom was the one that was disturbed! Maybe some kids just aren't ready to know about the food chain yet, though...

When I was little, I would have been traumatized, too. Heck, even now I wouldn't want to see that! Poor little thing!
