We all need things around us to make us smile. And children are wonderful at the job! Mine make me roll up with laughter sometimes, with their antics and capers and the way they try to copy everything I do. I find they’re the perfect tonic for a bad day at the office.
And this cow makes them smile:
I believe they think she’s just a tiny bit ridiculous! They love pulling her ears, tugging her udders, and generally carting her about the house with them in an undignified fashion. All three of them argue over her (they are boys I suppose).
And as for me? I just like having another female around! In fact if I’m totally honest, she really belongs to me. When she hasn’t been ’stolen’ by the boys, she sits on my desk, looking at me with her rather dizzy eyes, and keeps me smiling.
So if you want to make someone you know smile, old or young, happy or sad, I can recommend a cow just like her as the perfect gift. They really are a wonderful tonic.
But you can’t have mine. She’s a fully paid for member of the office and the family, and she’s not going anywhere, in spite of her occasionally random behaviour and her rather quirky looks… After all, that’s why she makes me smile.
