As I work in agriculture I can safely say that the livestock can’t tell the time, sheep, cattle n pigs are creatures of habit, so is the wildlife
oh deers. Its nice and warm ear. Lol
Why don't they need alarms like most of people?
We had problems with grandchildren getting up too early when they were staying for a sleep over. Then one day Mrs J found an alarm clock which had a cockrill whose eyes were closed and the sky showed the moon until the specified time when the cockrill opened his eyes and the sun was in the sky. The children got to know quite quickly not to come through to granny/granddad's bedroom until the sun was up and the cockrill awake!
Because they dont need that as the farmer comes along and acts as the alarm clock
They’re much more in tune with nature, although they don’t sleep/awake like us, they know if they’re getting extras like bloom/beets/hay
Hes clearly a right PITA. But, ill bet you wouldnt have him any other way. We older people just love it!
Youve definitely got both hands full there!To be fair to him he's not he's generally extremely well behaved, he's just sharp as tack and an absolute problem solver.
So you've been told you can't have snacks..so what do you do?..wait until the parent goes to the loo and raid the kitchen after ensuring the toilet door is closed (I used to leave it open when it was me and him so I could keep an ear out...he would come and shut it).
Although the day I was in the shower, he had an accident as we were doing potty training and he got the cordless hoover to clean up a number 2 rather than asking for help was certainly a test.
He follows rules/instructions...but he likes to bend them wherever possible
And a vacuum apparently.
I maintain girls are more devious, I don't think my son would have considered that.
My oldest daughter when sent to clean her teeth would turn the tap on in the bathroom and when I crept up there she was sitting on the edge of the bath kicking her heels, no toothbrush in sight.
One of my two youngest (twin girls) used to run the taps in the bathroom basin until it overflowed taking the kitchen sealing down, I got a builder customer of mine to put up new\ plaster board ceiling and skim it, just after us painting it she did it again.
Hoovering up a No2 with a cordless vacuum? An experience not to be forgotten I bet! Slightly different but in the same "ball park" is when, as a professional gardener, you hit your first dog poo with a strimmer!
Our own kids would feed stuff into both the VHS (or was it VHF?) player slot and the cassette tape player slot. Surprisingly the machines never gave up and, after you'd dug out all the rubbish they'd crammed in, would continue to work!One of my two youngest (twin girls) used to run the taps in the bathroom basin until it overflowed taking the kitchen sealing down, I got a builder customer of mine to put up new\ plaster board ceiling and skim it, just after us painting it she did it again.
Another trick was feeding the VHF tape player with chalks and crayons. I know "what's a VHF tape?".
When we first moved in here, there was a patch of tatty grass out the front. It quickly became apparent that some neighborhood cats used it as a toilet. We used to do teh 'CSI' search, sometimes with a torch, before mowing the grass.
One morning, the cat was sat in front of the telly, not interested in breakfast. We went to work. She was still there when we got home, but did move for dinner, as quite hungry by then. At 10:00pm, the lights on the front of the VHS went out. Ooh! Peered in with a torch, mouse inside. Must have been there 20 hours or so. Took machine outside, four screws, off with the lid. Mouse took a little persuading to hop out. Dumped the machine inside and went to bed. Next evening, checked inside, no poo, also no signs, of smell or wee. Lid back on, plugged in, worked fine. Still works now, 20 years later, although seldom used. Used to have to leave a cassette in the door every evening to prevent a repeat.
