Four Ways to Tell if Your Children are Farm Kids

  1. Your children might be farm kids if you over hear your young sons talking and one says, “Well, my doe is still not accepting service” and your other son responds, “hmmm, maybe we should make sure it isn’t a buck.”
  2. Your children might be farm kids if your 6 year old announces to visitors that the cow isn’t a bull any longer because he got castrated.
  3. Your children might be farm kids if their spelling words are polyculture, poultry, compost, manure, horticulture.
  4. Your children might be farm kids if you ask your 4 year old what he is drawing and he says, “Cow patties, mom!”

These are a few recent signs we had that our children where definitely farm kids.  There have been many others over the years.

How about yours?  Any indications that your children (or you) grew up on a farm?

    Well, my husband always gets a good laugh about how you the saying “going to clean your clock” ? Well I and alot of the people where I grew up in a rural area…..we all grew up saying “going to clean your plow”. lol.

    Our children do have some interesting conversations that I’m sure would puzzle children who don’t live in our environment. Most children look puzzled that my children affectionately refer to our hog as Porky…..but really they are just affectionate about the upcoming bacon.

    I meant to say how “how you know the saying”. Two sick children and my brain and fingers aren’t coordinating this morning. :)

    Our kiddos get some odd looks from “city kids” when they talk about the chickens and our goats. One common question they get is “how can you have eggs if you don’t have a rooster?”! Ha!!

    Well, when we were kids, we would find sticks to draw IN cow patties!
