... Little story: when I was about six, my dad and I went to the market to get a chicken. When we were at the shop, there were cages of chickens and I was told to pick one. Great, I thought, I'm getting a pet chicken. They took it out of the cage and took it into the back room. I wondered why, and my dad said they were dressing it. Great, I though, maybe they'll dress it like a cowboy. After five minutes they came out with a grocery bag. Where's my chicken asks I. In the bag said my dad. OK, thought I, he was tired and sleeping in his bag.

Imagine my consternation when we got home.
