Only a Farm Kid

A Montana rancher got in his pickup and drove to a neighboring ranch and knocked at the door. A young boy, about nine, opened the door.

"Is your Dad home?" the rancher asked. "No sir, he isn't," the boy replied. "He went into town."

"Well," said the rancher, "Is your Mother here?" "No sir, she's not here either. She went into town with Dad."

"How about your brother, Howard, Is he here?" "No sir, He went with Mom and Dad." The rancher stood there for a few minutes, shifting from one foot to the other and mumbling to himself.

"Is there anything I can do for you?" the boy asked politely. "I know where all the tools are, if you want to borrow one. Or maybe I could take a message for Dad."

"Well," said the rancher uncomfortably, "I really wanted to talk to your Dad. It's about your brother Howard getting my daughter, Suzie, pregnant."' The boy considered for a moment. "You would have to talk to Pa about that," he finally conceded. "If it helps you any, I know that Pa charges $500 for the bull and $50 for the hog, but I really don't know how much he gets for Howard."

I thought all you "aggies" would enjoy this! Have a great weekend!

You've got to love farm kids! On a side note, Jason's best friend lives next door to Marcus Luttrell in TX! He is still a very intense guy. Another book that you might be interested in reading is Horse Soldiers. I haven't personally read it, but Jason has and he highly recommends it!

Are you going to the Beth Moore conference next month in Tucson? If you are, maybe I'll see ya there! Hope all is well.
