The things kids say
Driving the 2 eldest (3 & 6) into town just after Christmas, the following was heard.
Dad - so what do you boys want to do when you grow up?
6YR - (who wanted to farm up until now!) I want to be a racing car driver.
3YR - I want to drive a tractor like daddy.
6yr - If you want to drive a tractor you'll have to mik cows as well.
Dad - There are jobs you can do just driving a tractor, you don't have to milk cows.
6yr - No, you could always get your wife to milk the cows.
I nearly crashed the car laughing.
The better half and myself sometimes swop jobs, and for that particular day she was milking.
(Have to say though, milking is easier than looking after 3 young kids.)

Re: The things kids say
When asked what she was going to ask father christmas for our 5yr old said
Time, because there's not enough hours in the day.
Sounding like a dairy farmer allready!

…
....on finding a dead crow in the house yard the monster said 'call the truck daddy" meaning ring up for the knackery to get it.
....while the boss was at the cricket he helped me get a calving cow in and while we are chasing her around the paddock he's going "get the cow dr?" And as Im pulling the calf he's telling the cow to sqeeezzze.
...... he turns up at the top of the pit during milking with a dead ****atoo (well dead)hanging onto it by the tail feathers "lost his eyes daddy"
In town last week we passed the knackery truck "look calffie truck"(mustve had too many dead jersey crosses!)
never ceases to amaze me what actualy gets picked up......we wont even go near the bad language used to describe heifers getting out.

Re: The things kids say
A few years ago I was dropping my sweet innocent 3 year old son off at Pre-School, nothing unusual about that or by the fact that he ran in and went straight to play with the cows on the toy farm.
What happened next motified me but has been the source of constant amusement ever since!!!!
My son was playing with the cows........... to be precise TWO... they were following each other nicely in line, when the one at the back proceeded to jump athletically on the others back.
(At this point I considered it was time to leave, but before I could do so, with a number of mothers blocking the exit was horrified as the teacher made her way over to Harvey)
Teacher: Are the cows having their breakfast Harvey?
Harvey: (at the top of his voice) Don't be silly...... the bulls sh*gging the cow!!!!!!!
The fact that he said it so loud enabled every parent in the class to hear...... I didn't know if I should laugh or cry....

The things kids say
They pick up everything , my little girl is 6 and her grasp of death is disturbing. When the pet rabbit died of mixxy I told her after school to which she replied " had doddy had it then " ( doddy is the best knackerman ever just a shame he only comes when something is wrong) the truth was daddy chucked rabbit in the rotaspreader but doddy was a better story. Niamh did tell all school that doddy had the rabbit it was lucky the school hamster died at the teachers house or it would of come back here for doddy.
When we came here a 10 year fbt seemed like forever but now i scale it to the fact that heifer calves born of todays services will possibly not calve down here or even with me. I have put some pressure on the land agent with no joy as yet they are not prpared to confirm extending it and with development potential and being on the end os a 40 acre lake that is an SSSI i no idea if they will or not. I not panicing yet but niamh has over heard the conversations with grandparents etc and came to me one day with a big worried look and tears rolling down her cheeks and said " Daddy I have decided I will save my birthday money for the next few years then I can buy you a farm and you can keep your cows" thats when daddy isn't so strong as he thought and gets the lump in his throat .
PS anyone else think kids should be off school longer at xmas to recover from it all niamh back yesterday the 4th!

I would have said they needed longer (ours went back on the third), but eldest and the pre-schooler were both desperate to go back.
