Top 10 Reasons Raising Livestock is Easier than Raising Kids
Livestock don’t tell us every time something hurts. Like when their 3rd toe on their right foot has a tiiiiiiny nonexistent scratch that is excruciatingly painful.
Animals don’t fight over who gets to push the elevator button. Or who gets to ride shotgun. Or which kid needs the ipad charger more for their 10 minute Zoom meeting on their iPad that only has 99% battery power left.
You don’t have to potty train 2 year old lambs and calves who are afraid of the hole in the toilet.
They can’t sniff out one small piece of onion in an entire 6 quart pot of soup.
They don’t cut their brother’s hair into the most adorable mullet.
Livestock don’t breathe in your face at 2 a.m. and then cry because YOU scared them when you startled awake.
When you’re watching a movie, animals don’t ask you, “Why is he wearing black?” “Is he a good guy?” “Why does his face look like that?” “Is that her mom?” “Why did she fall down?” “Is that Grandma’s spoon?”
Livestock don’t make you blow on their food until you are dizzy and need to hang onto the table to keep from falling over. And then cry that it is too hot to eat.
Livestock don’t reach directly for you when they are about to throw up.
Livestock don’t want your food when you finally sit down to eat.
