Overheard in grocery checkout line:
Young
mom with kids, buying eggs: “I’ve always wanted a farm. That’s my dream: to own
a farm.”
Me,
tempted to say: Lady, I bet you have no idea how hard you’d be working on that farm.
Checker:
“Yeah, I grew up on a farm.”
Young
mom: “And I’d love to have chickens. It would be so wonderful to wake up every
day by the crowing of the roosters.”
Me,
tempted to say: Ha! After a night of
sleep interrupted by the caterwauling fox family, dogs chasing the fox
family, and spouse calling the name of the cat who hopefully hasn’t become the
midnight snack of the fox family, you’ll be ready to feed those ol’ early birds
to the fox family. And don't get me started on cows and calves.
Me,
carrying groceries to the truck: I definitely need
to work on my attitude.
