Me: 🤷🏻♀️ Yeah. I get the obscure ones. Jicama. Ginger. Starfruit. Even mangoes. But CARROTS? Wouldn't you learn that from cartoons as a kid? I ended up teaching him where the stickers were on most of that stuff, and he was still faster than the sweet but SLOW old lady who was also always on in the day. But he was always comical. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gardenmom5 Posted November 20, 2021 Share Posted November 20, 2021 20 hours ago, Terabith said: there is too much truth in this. I was picking up an item for sale on craigslist. The owner lived out a way, she had free range chickens and horses. She gave more some of her farm fresh eggs along with my purchase. I was enjoying it as I grew up in a horsey area. (and chickens. I may have mentioned I told my mom I was thinking about getting some chickens. Mom shuddered and said "oh. . . chickens". shudder some more. She lived on a farm until she was seven- then visited family on their farms every summer until she went to college.) "Oh - I can share this with you" . . . She then proceeded to tell me about inviting a coworker and family to her house. She sent them home with farm fresh eggs. About a month later - coworker asks when the eggs will hatch. "I don't have a rooster". city coworker is clueless about what a rooster has to do with eggs hatching, and asks again, when will the eggs hatch? . . .. They'd bought an incubator and everything. It was spring - so she sent him to the grange to buy baby chicks (they'd have shipments available every friday. They'd usually sell out by the end of the day.) 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
