Letter #9!
NOTE: I'll be away for the next three days, so you won't be getting an update for a bit. But, when I come back, you can expect a super awesome, really long tenth letter :).
Dear Molly,
Today, as I walked by, I saw you working on your farm. You were watering all of your autumn crops. I asked if you needed any help. You handed me a watering can, some gloves, and a milker and told me to get started.
At first I thought that it would be a piece of cake. What's farm work compared to macho man work like carpentry? Boy, was I wrong.
First we watered your crops. I watered the carrots, while you watered the bell peppers.
The watering can was heavy!
By the end of the watering, I was tired. You hadn't broken a sweat.
Then we moved onto your animals. You brushed Brownie, and told me to milk your cow, Mimi. I told you that I didn't know how to milk a cow. You said that now might as well be a good time to learn.
The actual cow milking wasn't difficult. More so was the getting the milker on the cow. Mimi didn't like me very much. Whenever I tried to get the milker onto her, she'd kick her legs all over the place, most of the time hitting me. At one point, she kicked me in a very uncomfortable place.
"Ahhh!" I screamed as I fell to the ground, clutching my bruised nether region. You ran over to see if I was okay. I thought for a moment about pretending to be unconscious, so that you'd have to do CPR on me. But I decided against it.
I want our first kiss to be real.
I got up and assured you that I was fine. You still looked concerned though. Concern…I think that's a good thing!
You then went over and showed me how to milk Mimi. I put my arms over yours and milked her with you. Teamwork always gets the job done, I guess.
At the end of the day, you thanked me for helping out, and said that you really needed it. I told you it was nothing, and that I'd be happy to help any time. You then sent me off.
I hope that I'll be able to help on your farm a lot more in the future.
Yours (the handy helper),
Luke
