Our little boy was visibly upset after he spotted a man without a leg while we were out in public and he turned to me and said, "That man without a leg scares me." To which I quickly replied, "Knock it off, everyone is broken in some way, only most of the time you don't actually get to see where." But then I realized, oopsie, that was probably way over his head, and I wasn't being very compassionate nor did my comment showcase my best parenting skills so I said, "Well, what if Nate - you like Nate right, (He's Ana's boyfriend.) lost a leg in some ice skating mishap wouldn't you still like him?"
To which my little boy replied,"No ....... not very much."

*I suggest that maybe a certain somebody should avoid the ice rink this winter and eye patches, however toting around talking birds would be a real plus!

awww, the wee one was just 'ascared.'
Probably couldn't articulate it.
But you're a good Mum...he'll "get it" eventually (speaking as a "recovered" wee lad...and I was a handful; just ask me Mum:<)!)
Arrr, Padre me n' my parrot agree.
