It's even done for rabbits!

Agreed. I've had to explain to many non-farm friends the difference between hay and straw. I don't even try to get in to the different nutritional and fiber differences between different hay, or the difference between wheat and barley straw. My SO took some time to get used to the different...

Look at a (paper) map, it's all up getting there, you can coast back down. Everyone knows that! ;)

Thats OK, same age group and I too had to know them all, and their capitals, and other stuff buried in the back of my memory. I thought the TV show Jersey Shore was about a town in Pennsylvania.(yes, there is one). Stupid old country Hick.

Stupid Hick question: what's a Snookie? LOL. I really need to start watching mainstream TV, I guess. To many city people, the country ways seem weird, like when my neighbor tells me they went in my barn, borrowed (insert tool or equipment here), and put it back, since I want home to ask.

I don't expect anyone with no farm type knowledge to know the difference between hay and straw. Much less Timothy vs alfalfa hay or barley vs wheat straw or corn stalk bedding. Of course when I spend time in the city, there ate little things I don't know either.

Took a city girl hunting. Gave her a 5 gallon bucket and a pad to sit on. The second time I suggested turning the bucket upside down, might be more comfortable.

As a kid growing up in the country, the town kids would tell me how nasty it was I swam in the creek, dirty, cows peed in it, fish, etc. My response was always "I just swim in it, you drink it. And I pee in it, too!" (the dowmstream town water plant drew some of its water from this stream)

Ah, the memories of the last few years you're bringing back! My city friend is slowly learning... Combine (corn and wheat - combine), the tractors on the road with various implements, their fascination with seeing cows for the first time, Amish on Sunday morning going to church...

my city living friend was here over the weekend. Early Sunday morning we were out walking the dog and one rabbit was chasing another all over the yard, trying to jump on her. She said " oh look! They're playing! They're having fun" She's 40. She really didn't know what their play was.
