Dumbest Things People Have Said About Your Chickens/Eggs/Meat

[animallover505]

She(?) alluded that I get my story from a movie. That was obvious... How can you not see that?

I'm ADD. I didn't notice,. Sorry, haha

I teach fifth grade and while in teacher lounge the subject of my chickens came up. One of the younger ladies pipes up and says "I would never have thought you would have nasty things like chickens! Why don't you buy "REAL" chicken and eggs from the store like the rest of us."
The next day I brought a pet silkie to school for everyone to see. She came in my room and swore it could not be a "real" chicken. Then asked if it was crossed with a RABBIT
I am now worried about her "teaching" skills.

If I COULD cross a chicken and a rabbit, I would not have been having that conversation. I would have been home, happy and wealthy, with my "RICKINS" HA!!

There are so many things that the uninformed believe about our food source that I wonder sometimes how the human race will survive. It's unbelievable how many people don't know where milk and eggs come from.

Oh, please. When it comes to teachers, I've heard things that have curled my toes. An assistant principal, working on her doctorate, called me to ask how to spell "ado", "as in much ado about nothing". Stunned, I gave her the correct answer, realizing, too late, that I should have said A-D-I-E-U. I have seen misspelled posters and signs in schools, abysmal emails, puzzlement over vocabulary words, and many of these educators say "pacific" instead of "specific", and "simular" for "similar", spelling it the same way. <sigh> The worst part is that they aren't interested in changing.

I entered the education profession with the expectation that these were educated professionals. I have been very, very disappointed.

Darwin referred to this as "natural selection". Hopefully, it still works.

That's the great job in process of the food industry. We don't feel anymore part of what we eat. We just get it at the store and that is the norm. Sometimes I feel like the weird one that try to grow her own food and gets eggs in her backyard. But the reality is they are the weird ones....there is nothing natural in getting the food in boxes with dyed colors or get eggs from hens cramped in small cages with food full of quimical nasties and that a few months old.

One coworker told me (in a indirect way) that I must have something wrong with me because I'm learning something new always. That I'm not stable or I'm missing something emotionally. Maybe she was refering that I'm not married with children. Who knows...Just because i want to make my own things like soaps, face creams, body butters,lipsticks, Paintings, I write poetry, have a garden with some food and a coop with happy hens. I feel in the right track so I will not care.

I have an ex-husband who once told me that I'd changed over the years. I said, "Yes, I have. It's called *growth*. You should try it sometime."

Apparently, she's insecure and you've hit a nerve by making her stagnation uncomfortable for her.

Keep up the good work.

I have one!!

A second grade teacher told me today that her pet rabbit was acting weird all day yesterday. She thinks it's because of the change back to standard time from daylight savings.
