Only a Farm Kid...
When you're from the
country ~ your perception is a little bit different
A Queensland farmer drove to a neighbors’ farmhouse in his
Holden ute, and knocked at the door. A boy, about 9, opened the door
"Is your Dad home?" said the farmer.
"No mate, he isn't; he went to town."
"Well, is your Mother here?"
"No, she went to town with Dad."
"How about your brother, Howard? Is he here?"
"No mate, he went with Mum and Dad."
The farmer 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? I know where all the tools
are, if you want to borrow one, or I can give dad a message."
"Well," said the farmer uncomfortably, "I really wanted to talk
to your Dad. It's about your brother Howard getting my daughter Susie
pregnant".
The boy thought for a moment. "You would have to talk to Dad
about that. I know he charges $500 for the bull and $50 for the pig, but I
don't know how much he charges for Howard."
