them cows need schoolin'

The school/daycare where I work is just outside The Small Town and a small herd of cattle lives next door. The youngest children, including my kindergarten charges, enjoy watching them sometimes. I have ample opportunity to explain where our milk and beef come from. Today when I went to work, I was regaled with the tale of the cows' great escape this morning. They got through their gate and were grazing toward the school's playground! The principal and a few teachers shooed the cows back into their meadow. Would have liked to have seen that.
