B Finds His Passion

B has long wanted to become a farmer. B has a one track mind. So, Mom decided to humor him by taking him to the 4H open house at the fairgrounds today. She was pretty sure he'd see how lame it all was and decide to ditch out.

Emmit met us there and together they visited booths on cows, rabbits, sewing, canning, planting, building, sheep, horses and goats. Here they are with a little chicken.

and the pony

Unfortunately, you can see by the smile on his face, that Mom's plan was a huge failure. So, they trudged on over to the sign up table where a lil old farm lady asked B "So... you're interested in signing up for 4H sweetheart?"

In typical B fashion, he avoided eye contact and gave an ever so slight nod.

Not to be deterred, the sweet little old lady asked: "What are you interested in darling?"

B: "Goats."

Sweet Little Innocent Lady: "Oh! Goats are neat! What would you like to learn about them?"

B: "Fighting. I wanna do Goat Fighting."

If we could capture the look on that sweet little old farm lady's horrified face, I don't know that we could put it here as this is a family blog. Let's just say she was shocked!

But who are we to deny the kid his passion? Mom soon found a clever t-shirt and we are all anxiously awaiting the debut of Goat Fighting at the Indiana State Fair this summer :)
