Funny you should say that about your s...Hi Monica! <BR/><BR/>Funny you should say that about your son. Just last night, dealing with Peri's leg, I was thinking, "What I need is a BOY on this farm. A BOY would think this was cool!" <BR/><BR/>My husband did NOT think it was cool. I'm there trying to clean the wound while Ken's holding the sheep, and he's saying, "There's a maggot on my leg! Brush it off me before it climbs up my pant leg!"<BR/><BR/>I'm thinking, "Do you see what Peri's leg looks like right now? And you're worried about ONE maggot on your leg?"<BR/><BR/>Still, I don't blame him. Those things are disgusting!<BR/><BR/>And yes, we both always need showers immediately after cleaning the wound. My skin keeps crawling even after the maggots are gone.<BR/><BR/>The things we farmers go through!Nancy Chasehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06537838536319846967noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6109280025743411757.post-31623646900318094382007-08-10T08:57:00.000-04:002007-08-10T08:57:00.000-04:00And BOY! do those maggots move fast to get back wh...And BOY! do those maggots move fast to get back where they were :-)<BR/>My son said after he helped us with our maggot problem "you know mom---I don't really like helping you feed and care for the sheep but THAT was pretty cool. I like helping you with stuff like that"<BR/>I will say a shower is always in order after that---I hate the smell of them.<BR/>Good thoughts your way Nancy :-)<BR/>MonicaDancingfarmerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02542161200214992918noreply@blogger.com
