thank yoooo!

Audrey knows a lot about cows. Her great Grandpa has a cattle farm. Our good friends have a cattle farm. Our neighborhood is surrounded by cows every which way you drive. So Audrey became curious exactly what all these cows are for. At first the obvious answer was milk...which lead to cheese and ice cream. Then came the inevitable meat and steak and hamburger conversation which was a little more interesting. After a while Audrey decided that every time we drove by the cows she should thank them for all of the things they give us...but she talked to them like this "moooo, thank yooooo for the mmmiiilk" in this very low cow-sounding voice. Every time it's something different; milk, steak, hamburger, cheese, ice cream. The other day, on the way her last soccer game (pics coming soon), I tell Audrey that cows also make leather like her shoes and she says to me "But Mommy, I don't see any pink sparkly cows out there".
