Little Moments
Part 23
Hamish, age 6
After morning recess the teacher had asked her first-graders what kinds of jobs their fathers had.
Their answers ranged from farmers and ranchers to mechanics and law enforcement. Common jobs for the rural community.
She then decided to ask what their mothers did. Knowing that most of the rural school's student's mothers were stay-at-home moms, she asked,
"Do any of your moms work outside the home?"
Hamish piped up proudly, "My mama cleaned the chicken coop this morning!"
technically, that is outside the home
He just seems like a country boy.
Age 7
Hamish sat at the dining room table, putting a puzzle together with his dad.
It had been windy all day and the gusts were expected to top fifty miles-per-hour. The high winds were causing the lights to flicker.
As they neared the completion of their puzzle, the power finally went out completely.
Submerged in darkness, Hamish said, "Something's wrong with the electricity bill!"
(snort)
Yes, I know, I gave Hamish two. But that's not just because he's my favorite. I know the kid that said the last one and it just seems like something Hamish would say.
Two more to go.
Now review you lazy people!
