They say that awkward questions from kids are a good way to identify societal issues (as in if it's hard to answer because the answer paints society in a bad light).
Today I got asked why the dog doesn't wear a seatbelt in the car. I wasn't quite sure how to answer, since I think the reason is that we simply value the lives of our animal family members less than the human family members.
You don’t strap your dog in?
We used to, back when we had a sedan and no kids. Now he rides in the boot.
