Simak Soup
Mildred may not know how to milk a cow yet, but she is fairly cultured. This past Monday night we went down to Houghton to see Alfred Brown's Senior Recital. Squirmy Annika and her frustrated, sacrificing mother stayed out in the hall, but Mildred came in and sat quietly on my lap during this feast of sound (except during the first piece during which she whispered to me "poop, poop" and we had to leave for the bathroom.
Fred's compositions were enjoyable, and I hope that he continues to create music for my consumption. I would also love it if he ever got the job he was looking to get creating sounds for toys that make noise. I don't think that that was his final career choice, though.
The most pleasant surprise for me was that one of Fred's pieces was inspired by a Clifford Simak book that he got from ME!

For a child of that age to not yet know how to milk a cow is proof that you may not be fit to raise children. What will she do someday, if she opens the refrigorator and finds the milk jug empty. Then goes to the store to find that they no longer sell milk. I know one thing....she could not get it from a cow. John, you are a dear friend, but I truly hope that you choose to do right by this child of God...and teach her to milk a cow.
I can't spell very well, but I can milk a cow

For dear Mildred, being young, not to know her agrarian roots is somewhat understandable. But, for a father to admit this is unspeakable. I am appalled at the lack of responsibility and headship in buffalo. This is only more reason to move south, closer to cows.

which one of your children has seen and heard a xylophone or a clarinet or examined paintings on display at an art exhibit?
then again, you country bumpkins think that the revealed glory of god is limited to this year's semex production.
shame on you dairy farmers!
