My sister and her husband had a dairy farm for years. Occasionally they'd keep a calf to raise for meat or stud. Imagine my delight when her kids named one after me.

Have I told you guys the story of my friend's mother, who decided to get an incubator and some eggs for her kindergarten class? The eggs, although incubated, did not hatch, so after the alloted time, she gathered the class around and opened one anyway. There were shrieks and tears.

Then, because she thought there might be a different result, she opened another one.

Wow, I didn't know that about Rebecca Gayheart. Not enough punishment in the world.

Never taken Tai Chi, but there was a woman in my last jiujitsu class who had gotten her black belt in Tai Chi in China. She was a very good martial artist.

My mother always said chickens had it coming.

That was my mother's attitude as well. She hated chickens.

Ugh. You drive anywhere near a chicken coop and you pretty much know why.

It wasn't the odor that lead my mom to her conclusions, it was that they were mean, nasty and had it in for her in particular.

Chickens DO have it coming!

A college friend was like that. Said she'd met cows she'd liked, so she didn't eat them. She'd met chickens she'd used as shuttlecocks, so eating them was the greater mercy.

it was that they were mean, nasty and had it in for her in particular.

That's what my mom said, too.

That's what my mom said, too.

Mine said that, but she was talking about sheep, not chicken.

So one of your mom's is obviously David Boreanaz in disguise.
