Funny, funny, funny!
I was born and raised in Chicago, but spent a lot of summers as a child on my great grandmother's farm in rural Missouri. SO I wasn't completely in the dark. But I didn't care much for it back then....the cows were so big, the pigs were so dirty, the horses stomped their feet, the goats ate my shirts or anything I had in my hand, and the chickens, well, they were just downright nasty.
But they were not MY animals...I love my chickens and ducks, and God willing I will live to see the day when I have some of all the aforementioned animals on my growing "farm".
I too, feel sorry for those not "in the know" like I am today!
