When I visited my Uncle TJ, I didn't even go into the house to greet my relatives one day. I went straight out to the pasture to go ride the cows. They saw me coming and they all scattered into 25 different directions. IF I HAD GONE INTO THE HOUSE TO GREET MY RELATIVES, I would have been told this......"Don't go into the pasture because I have the bulls in there for breeding". One cow stayed. I just chased off all of his girlfriends and he was NOT A HAPPY CAMPER!!!!

He pawed the ground just like the cartoons and I'll tell you what....an angry bull can run fast. Luckily, I got out of the pasture alive but only with about a 3 foot window. If the fence had been another 10~15 away, I would have been in some serious trouble. As it was, the electric fence shocked me pretty good as I was climbing over it.

Oh man! That reminds me of my brother and his friends, more times than I could count! LOL

Once my brother didn't quite make it to the fence. The bull helped him over the fence with a good head butt to my brothers butt.

My brother and his friends also pulled different stunts like touching the electric fence with different things ... from blades of grass, to fingers, to whole hand, etc. One stupid friend even got so brave as to touch the fencing with his tongue because he saw one of the cattle do it with no effect. Mom and I wondered what was going on when we saw my brother and the other 2 boys carrying the 4th boy toward the house. He got shocked bad enough to knock him on his butt and not quite able to walk for about an hour. He was fine after that though.

Wouldn't have done it. I don't like snakes. They're cool looking and all, just not my thing.

Now we know the origination of the word "headbutt"

My Grandmother was deathly afraid of snakes. One weekend I was at her place helping weed her vegetable garden. While I was hand weeding the carrots and beans, she was hoeing the potatoes (right next to the cucumber patch). All of a sudden I hear a squeal and then this chopping noise. I turn to see my grandmother chopping furiously in the dirt with the hoe. By the time I got up and moved the 20 feet to where she was, she had sliced and diced a 4 ft garter snake into little pieces no bigger than 1/2 inch. I had to pick up the pieces into a pail to move them to the compose pile as she wouldn't touch them. My grandfather came along about that time and asked what I was putting in the pail. Upon finding out, he teased my grandmother the rest of the weekend about making snake stew. You could see her shiver everytime he mentioned it. Poor Grandma!

From then on, she always sent Grandpa or I to the garden first to beat around the cucumber patch with a stick before she went into the garden to do any work.

I spent about 1 month every summer in the city with my 2 female cousins. Mom thought I was too much of a tomboy and wanted me away from my brother and his friends.

My cousins were pretty tame and "girly" most of the time, but I always managed to get them into some sort of trouble. I got the younger one sprayed by a skunk one day. I told her .. "look at the black and white kitty" ... she was only 5 at the time and believed me and stepped too close to it.
