City Kids

For the last couple of days, Baby Puppy has been attending summer camp at a working farm.  She gets to ride horses, groom them, walk them, and clean out their stalls.  Basically, I'm paying an assload of money for her to get to do all of the things that I bitched about having to do when I was her age.  She's having a blast.  I guess city kids are just different.

Anyway, as you might imagine, she has all kinds of stories to tell when I pick her up each afternoon.  Yesterday, for example . . .


Baby Puppy:  "blah, blah, blah, and this one kid swallowed horse poop!"


Me (startled into actually listening):  "What?"


Baby Puppy: "This kid swallowed horse poop!  I'm serious!"


Me:  "WHY?!?!"


Baby Puppy:  "We were working really hard cleaning up the stall and he was breathing through his mouth and he just sucked up some poop and accidentally swallowed it!  It was awesome!"


Oh, yeah.  City kids are definitely different!

This camp sounds like fun! Fun as in, would she like to come to camp at my house and rake leaves and pull weeds and take care of my dog and I believe I have a fence that needs whitewashing. But seriously, city kids at a farm is a great thing. I'm glad she's having fun. Awesome!

Oh Gee, Mom Zee, aren't you glad it wasn't your kid? Reminds me of my last six weeks in the Army when I was cleaning out a base neighbors bard and putting the poop on our seargants large and new flower garden.

Our three-year-old grandkid is coming in today from London and will stay for a bit. I will keep the dog poops picked up so she doesn't get hold of any. Thank you for this 'alert.'

Blah! I'd have to throw up if the poo came anywhere near my mouth.

I live in the country ... I could come up with all kinds of chores for the yard and call it 'camp' ... you could send her over :)

There are several people I know that could benefit from a mouth full of horse poop! What a hoot! Thanks for my morning laugh!!

ROFLMAO!!!!

My grandparents called me a city slicker. But even for a city kid, all that work is only fun/funny if you know it won't last forever.
