and then i picked the kid up

Separation

 

When I was at the farm today, I spotted this mother and kid & thought they looked pretty cute. Then I realized that the mama was on one side of the fence and the kid was on the other. I looked around and none of the farm staff was in sight.

How much could a lamb weigh? Do they wiggle around & make a racket if you pick them up? The fence didn't look too tall and I figured I could lift it up and put it down on the other side without me or the kid getting hurt.

So, I picked the kid up, leaned way over the fence and plopped it down next to its mom. Kids don't wiggle or cry when you pick them up. They just sort of become pliable. Sheep's wool contains a lot of lanolin & when you touch it, you feel like you have some lotion on your hands.

You could say that I performed my good deed of the day and was rewarded with nice soft skin.

  1. Absolutely your good deed for the day! Poor baby/kid!
    (Did you really pick it up, or is that a story?)
