She Just Doesn't Want to Know

Recently we pulled up to a stop light and Lucy yelled, "There's a mouse!"  and sure enough, clinging to a tree was a little mouse.  Us girls watched as the little mouse hung out on the tree in midday traffic until the light turned green and we were off.  Lucy said, "that mouse is much cuter than the ones we are trying to catch in the traps at our house."  Uh, sure.
Then, while we were entering a restaurant in Annapolis, "Look! there are lobsters! Why would they keep lobsters in a tank?"  I said, "so folks can eat them."  Her faced dropped.
We have had similar conversations about chicken, turkey, shrimp, etc.  She knows, she just doesn't want to know.
