Yellow Letters
Posted on 06. Jan, 2010 by Kate in Farm & Family
“Look, Mom.” My five-year-old pointed off the snowy path leading from our house to the barn as we carried water to the chickens. A yellow line swirled in the otherwise pristine snow. “See, it’s a G.”
“Did you do that?”
“Yep. I followed the rules: You can go wee-wee outside, but you have to go poop in the house.”
Welcome to the farm.

I am the mother of five learning to live in the country surrounded by in-laws. I've been married to the amazing Nate Palmer for 15 years; he is teaching me how to be a farm girl in between chasing children, cooking dinner, and doing laundry. In my spare time (okay--time I try really hard to set aside), I like to write.

I actually like that you posted a different picture than the obvious one, because nothing could live up to what I’m seeing in my head. So funny. By the way, who set the rules?

@Emily: Window well? Was there splashing involved? Ugh!
@Tamara: He was so proud of his G!
@Debby: Yes, he’s quite a boy.
@Jenni: Rules? Well sometimes after about 20 accidents–because the house is never very close when you’re out on the farm (though not the case here)–there is a need for rules with a bit of lattitude.

Wish we lived on a farm–at least it would make me feel better that my kids had an excuse to go outside. Of course, boys don’t care about justification, they just do it!
