fairfarmhand Posted March 14, 2012 Share Posted March 14, 2012 In the last 2 days I have used the following words with my kids: v*lva, Colustrum, Scr*tum,and Placenta. We had a cow give birth yesterday, and they wanted to see it all. Hopefully they do not embarrass me by using their new words at the worst possible moment. Un-farming families might not understand.

Brings s** education to life, does it not? And somehow makes it easier to talk about it. At least I felt this way. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's just life around here. So much less embarrassing when it is about cows and chickens. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GWOB Posted March 14, 2012 Share Posted March 14, 2012 definitely. It's just life around here. So much less embarrassing when it is about cows and chickens. You know, I thought "the talk" would be so much easier because we had some pretty feisty chickens. My poor DD never realized people did the same thing.

Remudamom Posted March 14, 2012 Share Posted March 14, 2012 I hear you. When my dd was about five we were at a ballgame, and the moms there almost bust a gut listening to her explain how hens get chicks in those eggs. "Then the rooster grabs the back of her neck and pulls her feathers and she's pregnant!" One of the moms leaned over and said "Yep, every time Jeff pulls my hair I'm pregnant too."

SKL Posted March 14, 2012 Share Posted March 14, 2012 LOL! My dd5 has become most interested in exactly where mammal babies are born from. How to be delicate and still real . . . . She also wanted to know the difference between a bull and a steer. Unfortunately we don't have any farm critters to use as examples. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

beaners Posted March 14, 2012 Share Posted March 14, 2012 Yeah, I got quite the reminder to get our extra drakes sold or butchered when we were playing outside this afternoon. Spring is in the air. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tricia Posted March 14, 2012 Share Posted March 14, 2012 I think it's great that they are learning this the 'natural' way. That's what I call living life and education all in one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
