Farm kids have responsibility

Just some random woman made me write this morning.

If you stop by a farm looking to buy something, often you'll be greeted by a farm kid. Treat them with respect; chances are they have more responsibilities than your child ever did. They are left back at the farm to deal with you while the rest of the family is out fixing fence or making hay. If you ask them to buy a dozen eggs, why would you doubt how much they are? Have you ever raised a hen? Have you any idea the cost of feed? Bet the farm kid does!

First off, the woman who just stopped wanted to buy 12 dozen eggs. Would have to have quite a few hens to squeeze out that many eggs a day. 2nd off she wanted 'a deal' since she wanted so many. Then she didn't believe our daughter when she told her how much they were and wanted to talk to someone else about how much she had to pay. Grrrrrrrrrrrrrr.

I simply went outside told the woman that they were our daughter's responsibility and whatever she said was how it was. Ok, maybe I babbled a on a little about the cost of grain these days....... probably just to keep my mouth from saying what I really wanted to say.

Trust the kids! Don't ignore them! They just as much run this place as we do!
