It’s raining and getting dark. The kids are doing homework and I’m making dinner. Isabella (1.5 yrs) is standing in the window of our Airstream, watching the clouds and blowing leaves. Water is dripping off the awning.
Suddenly, she looks at me, excited, and yells “coooooooow!!!!!” “What’s that honey?” She points out the window. “Cooooow!” Sure enough, 3 cows are sauntering up the steps to our Airstream above the ranch, proudly flashing their Six Sigma brands.
I put on a movie to entertain the kids, and go outside to engage our trespassers… and keep them off the road! I call Christian to tell about our guests. He promises to bring home hay that they will enjoy more than the meat sauce (beef!) I made for dinner. I explain to the ladies that there is better grass in the valley of Six Sigma Ranch than our place. They agree, and with a little encouragement from me they return the way they came. Christian arrives with the dinner for our guests, but they have already left. Better safe than sorry.
Ladies and gentlemen, You Have Three Cows.
