This commercial was on yesterday and I heard Zach kind of sniffing and shuffling so this is the converstaion that insued:
Mom: Zach are you o.k.?
Zach: This commercial is really sad.
Mom: I know buddy. It's kind of hard to watch.
Zach: (with tears in his eyes) Why would people do that to animals?
Mom: I really don't know. There are a lot of jerks out there.
Zach: I would never do something like that.
Mom: I know you wouldn't buddy.
Zach: Mom, if this commercial ever comes on again can we please change the channel?
Mom: Sure buddy.
Then I hugged him and kissed him. I let him know how much I loved him. He went downstairs to play and I went into the bathroom, sat on the toilet and cried.

My friend posted this commercial on her blog. I can't watch it anymore. Even my cold, hardened heart flutters and warms when I see it.
Zach sounds like a sweetie. Hope his friends don't read your blog! ;)
Zach is SUCH a sweetie! A couple of his friends read my blog but I don't think it will matter to them. I just hope I didn't embarass him--I don't think it is embarassing to have feelings and to be concerned about animals well beings. He is such a GREAT kid!!
It took all I could to hold the emotion in while I was talking to him. I couldn't hold it in any longer so I had to escape to the bathroom. It really touched me!
Oh, he is so sweet. What a kind heart. Holding your hands in school, touched my mean animal commercials. You really are a great mom!
Off topic a little.. but on topic of animals. That mouse we caught a while ago from my mouse post.. well, Jaren left it outside for one night and then before we went to bed the next night he went to release it..... but it didn't go anywhere..... It froze to death. I started crying I felt so bad. He killed it! Jaren felt really bad, too. He kept telling me, "I feel so bad... I shouldn't have told you.. I should have told you I let it go.." Because I was crying and crying feeling so bad for that little mouse. THEN...
We saw ANOTHER one 2 nights ago. We set a mouse friendly trap, but no such luck. So tonight... were getting out the big snappy guns.
P.S. - Jaren said if there are still any here in a few weeks after we've caught some.. we can get a cat(maybe)!!! I'm so excited. I need a friend to help fend off my baby hungryness!
Man, I've been leaving super long comments today....
What a tender hearted darling. He is going to make someone a really romantic hubby someday! Good for you mom, for giving him room for his heart to grow.
Aw, he sounds like he has a compassionate soul. What a sweetheart.
Wow, you've sure raised some sweet kids.
Whoa, I have never seen that commercial before and I never want to again, I am sitting here crying, I don't know if it is my hormones or what but that is so sad. Poor, sweet kiddo...I think I would have cried if I were you also.
What a sweet little guy you are raising.
That commercial just tears at my heart each time I see it.
Yeah--that commercial is not easy to watch. It really is sad the amount of animal cruelty there really is.
I watched 5 seconds of that commercial and had to stop it. I am such an animal lover that I knew I couldn't take it. Zach will be a compassionate man....a great quality to have! Good job, mom and dad!
