Bottoms up!

A new truckload of steers arrived today. Little farm boy gets very excited when new steers arrive—partly because he loves bovines and mostly because Papa brought them.  And farm boy loves his Papa.

In fact, he was so excited to see Papa and Uncle Joe that he grabbed his boots and took off for the feedlot.

I happened to hear the back door close. Then I discovered that my son was no longer sitting on his little potty, patiently waiting to pee. I went to the back door and looked out. Then I opened the door and yelled, [Little Farm Boy] you get back in this house right now before I paddle your bare bottom!”

He turned around and dejectedly trudged back to the porch. In his shirt and work boots. And nothing else. It was 47 degrees outside. He didn’t seem to notice.

He’ll freak out one day, when he realizes people all over have seen his bare hiney. But I can’t resist … the whole episode was just so cute.

Little farm boy loves his Papa. He also loves his new boots. Hmm. I want him to love pants.
