"Oh Mommy, those are pretty flowers! What are they doing in a zoo?"
"Well, the zoo owners wanted to make everything really pretty so that people will want to visit the animals."
"That's silly. People will visit the zoo no matter what. Everybody loves animals."
"Well, I think these flowers are a way of making everyone feel welcome."
"Hhmm. Well, the animals make me feel welcome. I don't like the bugs in the flowers. Like bees. They can chase you and sting you and then you cry and cry."
Who can argue with the logic of a six year old?
