"You have cows in the road!"

The first thought when you hear a knock on your door at 9pm at night is "this isn't good".  Escalate that adrenaline when you hear the phrase, "Cows on the road!"  YIKES!  It was all hands on deck, and (thankfully) they all thought to throw clothing overtop jammies.  Being dark outside we needed one specific tool: a flashlight.  Dear Farmer raced outside to jump on the ATV (headlights!) and others were left inside to throw on footwear and find a flashlight(preferably one with batteries and working).  The Farmer's Daughter raced out, the Wife was still left looking for a flashlight, how did she find one so fast??? That girl couldn't find anything in a house to save her life(the barn's a totally different story)!  Then the Hausfrau Farmer's Daughter handed the secret weapon to the Wife...a phone.  Guess what all their new phones have on them? Flashlights!  Ah ha!  Figured out how the Farmer's Daughter found one so fast.  Out went the Wife.  The cows that were on the road were the money-making cows!  The bulls(breeding buddies) and five steers(going for market next month)...usually when boys get bored together they get in trouble, right?  I wonder which one of them had the bright idea of "car-tipping"?  It ended just how you'd expect, they got in trouble with the farmer.  As soon as they heard the ATV they looked a little sheepish at Dear Farmer and followed him back home...the rest of the night they sulked.  The adventure of stopping traffic was so much fun!
