Leftover songs

Children sometimes demonstrate profound wisdom by what they say. Take the following conversation between Jimbo and his 5 year old kid, Ryan. They were driving to church at the time.

Ryan: It’s very cruel, daddy.
Jimbo: What’s very cruel?
Ryan: The way they kill chickens
Jimbo: And how do they kill chickens? (whoever ‘they’ are)
Ryan: They just cut off the head!
Jimbo: And how did you know about this?
Ryan: I saw them doing it at the market! (ah, the mystery regarding ‘they’ is solved!)
Jimbo: Yeah, I think it’s pretty cruel
Ryan: And you know, the chicken can still walk around after the head is cut off!
Jimbo: Yup, it takes a while for the chicken to die
Ryan: Yeah, it’s so cruel, because the chicken still have many songs left inside it to sing!

Jimbo: *speechless*
