Try not to be too disappointed....

I hate to burst bubbles, but there is something I must share with you milk lovers out there. I found out last night that they don't milk cows like they use to.

Last night, Nathan and I were walking around the fair when we saw a sign that said "cow milking" with an arrow pointing to the spot. I've always wanted to milk a cow. I got really excited and immediately followed the signs. What I found was not what I was looking for. I was looking for the farmer in his overalls on the stool milking the cow with his hands. Instead I found a building with one wall of windows and a machine milking poor Betsy. How can this be? Who invented such a dumb machine? So it is really fast but its not fun for me or the cow. What am I suppose to tell my children someday. I can't imagine them thinking that getting milk from a cow by way of machine is cool. I know everyone is spending a lot of time talking about health care now, but how could you when obviously there is more wrong in this world. Yes, it is faster to get the milk from the cow but it takes longer so set everything up. Frankly, I'm appalled at how lazy even farmers are now. And I decided that if I ever was a cow I'd be the beef kind now. That's right I'd rather be killed, sold, and eaten then be a machine milked cow. I'm sorry, cow its not your fault. I apologize for those of you who didn't realize this and are now not enjoying your glass of milk as much, but I felt it needed to be shared. I would never put anyone through my sour experience. In the end I did find a cow to milk. It wasn't the same but I guess it will have to do for now.
