It dawned on me

I think I have told ya'll before that I grew up conservatively and my parents were pretty strict. They still are pretty strict, but I've always been mature and didn't need much discipline. To this day, I've never been grounded. From anything. But the other day, as my father and brother were talking about working cattle and how this one momma cow was super mean and her calf was weened, so they were going to sell her at the sale barn. It dawned on me. That's probably why I was so good! That cow is mean? Jumping and breaking fences? Not being a good little momma to it's baby calf? Not our problem now- sell her back to be made into delicious steak and hamburgers! I had no doubt in my mind as a young child that if I was mean or misbehaving and not what my mommy and daddy wanted, I would just be sold at the weekly sale! #childhoodmemories
