misunderstanding
A few nights back I was in Rite Aid looking at baby monitors. I explained to the sales guy I needed one without a wall charger, because it was going in an old shed I built up from the house on a hill. I didn't want anything that fancy, this would have the shit beat out of it from the elements. He stared at me, mouth agape.
later in the truck I realized I never explained it was for lambs...

Haha- don't be surprised if someone from Child Services drops in unannounced.
That is priceless! Sometimes I do similar things like when I bought mill scraps for my chickens, and they were aghast that I said "yeah I think the girls will like a little treat..." They thought it was for my daughters or something.
Jenna, I used mine to monitor my rabbit hutches. They were attacked by coyotes once and I wanted to know ahead of time if something was upsetting them. Thanks for reminding me. I will have to get one for the Oklahoma ranch when I get moved.
Too funny.
Awesome. I've gottent he same reaction when buying 6 tubes of Preparation-H at a time, for treating proud flesh on a horse, a condition where a healing wound becomes inflamed. Always good for a giggle!
Jenna-this made my morning-so funny!!!!! Like everyone who reads your blog-can't wait to read your news of the first arrival. Blessings to all
Karen from CT-
LOL!! Love it! Can't wait for the lambs to arrive! :)
That's hilarious.
With every post, I fall a little more in love with your blog. :)
My baby monitor is my best friend for the next two weeks. Get a good one pay more , get more. Be sure it will be clear in a barn with a metal roof. And be heard to the house with clarity. Every one I have had in 25 years has had battery option in the receivers. And all were not wall mount but stand alone.
I am still am amazed at the amount of noise my girls make at night. Sounds as if they are moving the barn around.
Hysterical! At least he'll have a great story to tell his friends.
Reminds me of when I was helping a neighbor who was new to chicken ownership.One of her hens had a prolapsed vent and I innocently asked if she had any Preparation H to help with the swelling. She looked at me, a little embarrassed, and said, "I don't but my husband does. He uses it all the time. But, that's probably more info than you wanted."
a while a go i bought turkey baby food (for my old cat) and baby wipes (for the goat udders). the cashier asked how old my baby was - i just said i didnt have a baby and left her wondering.
;-)
Love it!
Too funny! I love this part about farming. I remember buying diapers for my kid goats in the house and having a great debate about it with my partner in the store, two women came over to try and help me and then I said "Oh my kids are kid goats" they actually didn't laugh or anything just kind of looked at me blankly!
Good luck with your lambing!
OMG!!!! I am laughing SO hard. I wish I could have seen his face!
Too funny!! I wish I could of seen that guys face after you left.
Jenna, that was the funniest thing I have read in a long time! I keep checking back for news of the newest arrivals at caf! I would only be more excited if they were mine! Lol.
In other news, I have been reading your blog backwards (yep, I am one of those crazy people) for about a week now and I just got to wednesday, October 7, 2009. The post is called "read the whole thing". I know how much you went through to get to where you are, and I am so inspired by your journey. We took our dog for a walk yesterday out into the farmland of Norfolk, NE and spent the entire time talking of chicks, poults, cows, goats, sheep, barns, irrigation, and crops. Spending a day planning our dream was amazing. We are slowly working toward that dream and in the mean time I will continue to enjoy reading about yours!
Thank you.
LMAO! I got that look the day I needed 12 small syringes and twelve needles. I was giving tetanus injections. The funny thing was, I'm 52, wearing a skirt and jacket for the office, and the girl giving me the look was maybe 21, with two nose piercings and a tatoo down her whole right arm....WAHAHAHAHA!!
Hi Wendy...
That is so funny. I bet he can't stop talking about the woman who keeps her kid in the shed up the back paddock! Jacinta
AWESOME!!!
That is hysterical!!! What great comic relief with all these waiting tension!!
Thanks so much for the good laugh! Love it!
hilARious! thank you! you made my night.
hahahah! I went into the store for emergency lube (major lambing going on) usually I buy a big 1 gal jug at the feed store. But I considered what it would look like if I went through the line with 5 containers of KY jelly and latex gloves. I just didnt have the guts!Luckily I didnt need it that night.
Years back, when I lived in a dorm and ate meals at a afeteria, I was sitting at a table with some friend and they were asking me questions about my upcoming foal that my horse was expecting. A guy sat down near us just when a friend asked me what I was going to do with the baby when it was born. I replied that if it was a girl I would keep it, but if it was a boy I would sell it. He was staring at me for a minute before I realized what happened and had to explain!
I'm catching up on posts here and laughing so loud at his one that my husband said "well, nothing's THAT funny"!
