A Cherry-picking Cow Chaser...

I mean a chasing cherry-picker cow! Oh no...it's a....cherry-picker chasing cow. And now I've thought about the word chase too much, and I'm beginning to wonder if it's really a word. And if it means what I think it does. I think it does. Anways, I was picking cherries the other day, and the LeBaron's cow got out. My dad wanted me to help chase it back into the LeBaron's yard, and so I stood behind it so that it wouldn't go the wrong way. All of the sudden, it turned and started chasing me! Well, it would have chased me if I would have turned around and run--which I desperately wanted to do, and was about to--but my dad told me to stand where I was. So I did. And I screamed. Fortunately the cow stopped right before it bowled me over. The time before THAT when I was picking cherries I had to step over the LeBaron's electric fence, which my dad told me was turned off. It wasn't. I held onto a pole for support and pushed the wire down with my finger, so that I could more easily get over it and ZAP!!! I was electrocuted. It hurt. But I didn't cry. I'm a tough girl =) I vote no more cherry picking for Kimber.
PS--I love my dad, and I don't think he is intentionally trying to bring me harm.
PPS--The LeBaron's might be =)

lol I like the post scripts. :) I'm glad the cow didn't bowl you over; that probably wouldn't have been so fun. hahaha Although I must admit it would be a fun story. "I got run over by a cow." Okay, a fun story, a not-so-fun experience. I'm glad it didn't happen.

Thanks for the good giggle you caused me to have while reading your post.
Life can be a bowl of cherries!

Or a bowling cow with cherries...wait a minute...how do you spell...bowl...is it really like that? Like the dish. Okay, yeah it is. That was a quick fake-out, Kimber. I had myself convinced that it wasn't really the right word in about 3 seconds. Doesn't it just look weird? bowl I thought that maybe my mom had already caught the bowling cow part and put it in her phrase...maybe she did, but...nevermind
