after spending the entire morning with my kids cleaning the yard and pastures, I have figured out they remind me alot of a flock of chickens.
1. They make ALOT of noise, over NOTHING
2. They run around alot acting like they are busy scratching around, but rarely pick up what they see
3. They leave a mess EVERYWHERE they go and CONSTANTLY have to stop to potty
4. Their attention span is NON EXISTANT, anything shiney catches their attention- till a shadow goes by, then they scatter.
5. They dont take direction well- to get them to get in ONE place and do ONE thing, TOGETHER you have to feed them or wait until they are asleep and then pick them up and PUT them where you want them.
6. They look kinda funny when they run
7. They LOVE finding and destroying mice AND snakes, and once they find the first one, you may as well give up- thats all that is on their pea sized brain
8. They dont have any respect for someone elses property, they will scatter THEIR crap all over the place, not caring that its not polite or hygenic.....
9. Bugs interest them more than anything, but outsmart them 90% of the time. And the 10% when they outsmart the bug, they have to crow about it for 20 minutes.
Yep, Raising kids IS like being pecked to death by Chickens...
