This is old blowers and I want to if I can I want to penny ship that story that I was telling you the other day About when I got stepped on by the calf and They much more to the story, but it was kind of kind of funny what happened and it was real interesting You know the way the kids pit-stealing and helped but See when I got stepped on by that calf was he it broke one of my feet and bruised the other one And I was in real bad shape But all the community, you know come down to help me and you know flossy butts She of course she helped me with my house You know keeping the house clean and stuff and and the people in the neighborhood They come down to help me take care of the of the cows But the the surprise and part of it to me was that the kids from school come down here All the high school kids see they heard about it and they come down to help me and that really made me feel good that You know kids would be that Thoughtful, you know because a lot of people think kids is selfish, but these kids wouldn't selfish they come down to help me And so it was kind of funny Some of the stuff that happened down here The girls and boys come down here and most of the girls come in the house and they was helping you clean I also washed the dishes and stuff like that and the boys you know went out to the barn well See I wasn't in no shape to do it But I had to go out and and kind of supervise them a little bit because you know they they wanted to help But if you run in a dairy farm and you are selling milk to people they've got strict rules about how you have to How do you have to take care of the milk? So you make sure it ain't terminated and so what I done is I had to tell them what to do and make sure they done it And I was on them crutches and what they would do is they would fix me up a place where I could sit And then I could kind of tell them how to do so they would do everything according to the rules And so they done real good They they milk the cows and I had to show some of them how to put the milkers on them But I was gonna tell you that they had this girl named Sheila and They told her them boys got you know They've been boys full of the devil and so they told old Sheila that they needed some help out in the barn if she could help him they would appreciate it so she come on out to the barn and And she asked them what they needed her to do and they said well go over there and we put the milkers on the cows And we ain't got enough People to do it said you go over and put the milkers on the cows Well, she didn't know what they was talking about But she went over to the cow and the cow would switch her tail You know the cow is as gentle as she can be but she you know cows will switch your tails Wherever time that cow switched your tail Sheila would jump back that way and so I told her I know what the boys was up to But I never said never let on and I told her the cow wouldn't hurt her I said she's just as gentle as she can be well She don't want to do her again in the cow was stomping her foot cuz she was trying to you know There was a fly by the neuron. That's what cows will do. They'll stomp her foot.
Well, she jumped back again And so I told her I said now Sheila that cow ain't gonna hurt you I said she just as gentle as she can be and I said you go on up there and put the milkers on that cow and she said well How did I do that and she walked up there and I said well you see them Tits hanging down so what she's supposed to do is put them milkers on that cow where she's how it Oh, and she jumped back and took off and run toward the house and the boys all got a kick out of it What it kind of was funny to me too, but I told them boys I said y'all not to do that to that little girl and they just all laughed and every time they would come up to a cow that I was oh and so they kept on doing that and So directly I've just got one cow out there. That's kind of wild. She'll kick if you're not careful Especially if she don't know you she never she don't kick me no more But she will kick somebody if they if she don't know where and they come up on her Well, oh Jimmy Vanderstig was down there and he come up on that cow and he hard oh and that cow kicked him and it you know It it was funny But it kind of addled him for a minute and he backed off and all the boys got a kick out of it and every time they'd see Jimmy That how her oh so that's that just shows you that what goes around comes around But anyway, they they was a lot of help to me and they they come down there will see old Roscoe and Luther and a Billy and and oh being they come down Of a morning and they milk the cows and done the work and and got the cows out the pastor And then in the evening the kids that all come and they come every day and I think they got a kick out of it Really? I really think they did but oh she never did come out to the barn again.
She She stayed in the house and helped with the housework But the boys come out there and they they done the work for me now. I'm back on my feet now I'm not getting around real good but I can use some crutches and and take my time and I can put the milkers on them cows and and Milk them and I do let I do let one of the boys feed the calves because I can't move out of their way You know and I like I told you you have to stay out of a calves way cuz he won't mean to but he'll hurt you if you're not careful So I told the boys that they needed to feed the cows for a while till I got my got back on my feet a little better But anyway, they they helped me a whole lot. I really did appreciate it But they I think they had a good time and we'd always you know Flossie Butts would always have a good Supper in the house and she always made cookies for them And so when they got finished with the work that come to the house and they'd eat they had a lot of sweets They didn't eat a lot of the food But they had a lot of the sweets and and I like to say they got a big kick out of it And I sure did appreciate the help. I didn't know people could be that good, but You know, I know that the kids liked me a little bit because I've always supported them and what they done, you know, and and I always You know give to the school Activities even if I didn't you know, they put on plays up there sometimes and I don't really care nothing about seeing the plays usual But but I try to go and support them and and buy ticket every time and I'll buy a ticket where I whether I go or not So I think they appreciate that and they they wanted to help me and it was a good opportunity for them So I just wanted you to know about it.
I really did appreciate it They're gonna be helping me for about another I think probably two weeks Then I think I'll be able to take over for them And I think they'll be glad I think they've had a real good time But I think they're ready for this to come to an end and and I am too I'm ready to get back to work So I just wanted you to know about that and what it just kind of stored my faith and kids that they if you know if you get in a tight spot they are coming happy and so I really did appreciate it. I thought you'd like to hear this story
