Only a Farm Kid..

When you're from the country ~ you look at things a
little differently...

A Montana rancher got in his pickup and drove to a neighboring ranch and
knocked at the door. A young boy, about 9, opened the door "Is your Dad
home?" the rancher asked.

"No sir, he isn't," the boy replied. "He went into town."

"Well," said the rancher, "Is your Mother here?"

"No sir, she's not here either. She went into town with Dad."

"How about your brother, Howard? Is he here?"

"No sir, He went with Mom and Dad."

The rancher stood there for a few minutes,

shifting from one foot to the other and mumbling to himself.

"Is there anything I can do for you?" the boy asked politely.

"I know where all the tools are, if you want to borrow one.

Or maybe I could take a message for Dad."

"Well," said the rancher uncomfortably, "I really wanted to talk to your Dad.
It's about your brother Howard getting my daughter, Suzie, pregnant."'

The boy considered for a moment.

"You would have to talk to Pa about that," he finally conceded.

"If it helps you any, I know that Pa charges $500 for his stud,

$100 for the bull, and $50 for the hog,

but I really don't know how much he gets for Howard."
