Pooping Cows!

Well Dominic learned a really important lesson yesterday about life.

he came in at about 2 in the afternoon and picked up his backpack and loaded up all of his spy equipment.  This would include a spy camera, a spy listening device and most importantly his spy recorder.  Really this is just a .50 voice recorder that records only about 10 seconds of audio but no biggie, him and the next door neighbors played spy kids all afternoon. 

Now here comes the life part, I called him in at about 5 for dinner and he come in with a pooping cow.  Yep that is right a little toy cow that when you squeezed it, it a brown goo comes out its ass and when you let up on the pressure it goes back inside the cow, it is even sticky which makes it that much more gross. 

So I asked Dominic about it and he said the next door neighbor boy traded him for it so, like a responsible father I had to ask what he gave in return for this pooping cow.  He said that he decided to trade his voice recorder.........Now don't get all "he got screwed" attitude with me, I personally think that he got the better of the deal.

When Jenny got home from work I told her about the pooping cow and what he traded for it, I am not sure I ever got a look like that from her before.  I didn't push the subject with Dominic because lets face it, how many times can you get a pooping cow in your life, let alone one that you can put on a key chain.  I told Jenny that he will learn a valuable lesson on life in that you sometimes don't get back equal to what you trade for, but for Dominic the pooping cow was the diggity dank!

So life lesson number 34, when in negotiations sometimes you end up with a spy recorder and sometimes you get a pooping cow!

Lesson learned.

You know, beauty is in the eye of the beholder. Yes, Dominic loves his pooping cow, but at some point, will he want his voice recorder back? Well, that's life, as you said! It's good to learn the lesson now - at least it's a start. Now, Dominic can save his quarters and in time he can buy another voice recorder! Ah, the power of money.

do you know, that if dominic ever decides to buy another voice recorder, it will probably be better then the one he traded. Technology.
And do you notice Paul...when you start a paragraph....you say "Well" alot?

Well, what can I say I do do that a lot don't I.

Well I am glad that the rabbit is gone, it must have had a very important date.
