So I got home and reminded her about her conversation and asked her if she knew what killing meant, she asked me what it meant. I explained that it meant to make something dead like her fish and our dog. She looked at me wide eyed and said she never wants to kill.

Crisis adverted.

That goes against every event in the first post though.

Not really. Kids often have a vague/superficial idea of what killing means from cartoons and stuff. Like a kid points a finger gun at me, I fall over "dead," the kid thinks it's hilarious. Then we keep playing. So a kid can say "I want to kill ____" without really understanding what it means.

But she knows that her dog never came back and it was very sad. So when you explain it like that, she gets that it's serious and a bad thing.
