I grew up in a small town area out in the country where the closest house on one side of me was probably about a half mile away. On the other side, just a short walk away was where my grandparents live and where our family's farm was. For 18 years I experienced life lessons in various forms and lived a very different life than most. Coming to a school in the middle of Cincinnati and making friends with people who didn't have this same upbringing comes with some of the best questions. Here is a list of some of my favorite ones that I am sure some of you have been asked at one time or another.
1. Are there chocolate milk cows?
I WISH!!
2. You feed animals straw right?
Nuff said.
3. Is cow tipping real?
Have you ever tried to push a 1500 pound animal over?
4. Do you actually drive you tractor to school?
Why yes we do, and we are quite proud of it.
5. Does that make you are a cowboy?
Does it look like we live in the western part of the U.S.?
6. Can I meet your cow?
Absolutely! Dolly loves people!
7. How many pairs of overalls do you have?
One pair is quite satisfying and does the job.
8. Have you rolled in the mud with your pigs?
I'm not an animal!
9. Do you wake up every morning to a rooster crowing?
Yeah, you kind of get use to it.
10. If you fall in a well will your dog save you?
I wish my dog was that intelligent!
11. How the heck do you drink whole milk?
It's better than skim milk.
