Why I almost became a Vegetarian

Yesterday at the grocery store Tommy and I passed some salmon being put out. I commented on how pretty the color was and how yummy it probably tasted. Then Tommy in a loud voice asked,
Mommy is the salmon dead?
Yes the salmon is dead.
Did we shoot it with a gun?
No
Did we shoot it with a bow and arrows (add in sound effects in your head)
No, the fish just died after it got out of the water.
Oh, so we don't want to eat it while it's alive huh.
(Add in the muffled laughter of 3 or 4 shoppers listening in)
No Tom, I don't want to eat it while it's alive.
So anyway, I decided not to get any salmon this time.
