“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.
