Our son, Max, had just left our house. We have neighbors with cows and two horses. The horses are blonde. Sometimes, the cows and horses get out.
My phone: Bzzzz…
Me: Hello?
Max: Mom, there are two donkeys loose on the road!
Me: (Laughing hysterically) Um, what???
Max: Two donkeys. They’re running down the road. They were chasing me. I had to pull over to let them pass.
Me: Max, are you SURE they’re donkeys?
Max: Mom……
Me: Do they have long ears?
Max: Mom, I KNOW what a donkey looks like.
Me: Are you sure? What color are they?
Max: One is dark brown and one is blonde.
Me: (Laughing even harder) Okay, I’ll call Regina. Thanks! Careful not to hit them!
Max: They’re in front of me, running toward the main road. Love you, Mom!
I called our neighbor, Regina, who knows everybody.
Regina: Howdy!
Me: Hey, Regina. Do you know anybody who owns two donkeys?
Regina: I sure do!
Me: They’re running down the road toward the highway.
Regina: I’ll take care of it!
Regina texted later: All taken care of. First loose cows and horses, and now donkeys. Don’tcha just love living here?
Me: We sure do!!!
