Last Saturday we drove into the city to take the boys to a movie. We saw Indiana Jones 4, and I missed parts of the beginning, middle and end becuase someone *cough*Blake* has the tiniest bladder in the history of all bladders.
ANYWAY
On the way into the city, every time we go, we pass a farm. Right at the edge of his field, nice and close to the road, he always has a pile of things "For Sale" Sometimes it is an old MoterHome or a broken down truck, Once there was a swing set and another time what looked like potted trees.
Last Saturday he had a trailer without wheels sitting there. but there were also three big horses just walking around sampling the grass. We usually make jokes about buying this old farmers junk, and that day was no exception. We said to the boys "Hey look! Horses! Lets buy them!"
The children of course were all for that! At that point hubs and I realized our error and had to explain how much horse supplies cost! The boys did not seem to care that we would have to pay to stable them, pay for food, pay to buy saddles and tack, oh no, all they cared about was getting to ride them! (course, I can't blame them, horse riding is a hella lot of fun!)
If Parker - the oldest - thinks something, very soon the other boys think it too. All we had to do was convince him! So we pulled out the big guns.
"Hey Parker! You know how much one horse poops in a day? How about how much THREE horses poop in a day? Wonder who is going to have to pick up all that poop?"
And Parker, whose job it is to pick up DOG poop, realized that maybe getting horses wasn't such a great idea after all!
~whew~
