Hi everyone!!
This is my Day 83: 5 Minute Freewrite: Wednesday - Prompt: nose ring
This is my Great Grandmothers famous cookie jar. Every child, grandchild, great-grandchild, and great-great-grandchild always knew there was something yummy and made with love inside here. I, out of all of us, was chosen to receive her cookie jar. I never knew why but even to this day I smile every time I see it on my shelf.
Great Grandma and the bull
As a little girl, I would get to go visit my Great Grandma every summer on their Dairy farm.
I had so much fun. I learned to swear and I got to ride some cows and Ohhhhhhh all sorts of fun.
One of the rules was to never, ever! go into the field where the bull was. Me being me, and always needing to know why slipped inside that fence one day.
I could be quiet if I really wanted to.......
I slowly made my way up and around that bull creeping in the tall grasses. I finally got close enough to really see that bull.
What scared me most was that very, very large nose ring!
I remember thinking to myself that if all my great Uncles and second cousins that were larger than life, had to put a ring on that bull's nose, it had to be a scary thing! so with that in mind, I lowered slowly farther into the ground to watch this beast for a while.
He looked pretty normal but the stories and warning were swirling in my head.
Then I got bored. I was only three years old at the time and slowly made my way back to that barbed wire fence.
Now one would think I had gotten away with it all at that time but my Great Grandma had thirteen kids in her lifetime. Not much got by her in the end.
I walked into the house and was told in a kindly way that maybe it was best if I took a bath and a nap.
From all the excitement I just had with that Bull I grabbed my cookie from her jar she held out and agreed it was the best idea yet!
I hope you enjoyed my story!
Much Love
Snook
