After reading an article,
I asked Younger Boy a question.
I : If a Pig could talk, would you eat it?
YB : Hm... Probably yes.
I : Why?
YB : It's obvious.
Because the food I like will taste different.
Will sausages, bacons taste the same...
If they come from cows?
I : True.
YB : What kind of question is that?
I : Well, kind of questions asked in a Club.
YB : What kind of Club is that?
I : Philosophy Club for the 8-year-old.
YB : What's it for?
I : Well, I suppose, stretching their Imagination...
And Thinking Skill?
YB : Can't the children be asked to write a story?
That stretches Imagination & Thinking Skill.
I : Good Point.
Or ask real life questions requiring Higher Thinking like,
'What would you do if your mum comes home crying?'
YB : Yes.
I : Have you ever thought that Pigs ACTUALLY talk?
It's only us the humans can't understand their talking?
