Zoe goes to the little farm

This post if for Zoe to review when she is much older and trying to figure why she is terrified of cows. It all started out pretty well -- we bought celery at the market and then drove up to the little farm with Zoe and my mom. Zoe was enjoying her celery stick and using it to whack Chloe on the head as we walked up the hill.

The first pen on the path is the cow pen, which is somewhat unfortunate because the cows happen to be the largest animals there. Zoe was interested in the cow, but quickly realized that the cow was developing an unhealthy interest in her celery stick


Before we could retreat, however, the cow advanced and shot it's gigantic tongue at the celery stick

and snatched it from Zoe's hand

Zoe was by this point terrified and staring wide eyed at the celery eating monster

For the rest of the day, Zoe refused to touch another celery stick, presumably because it would unleash another tongue attack. Chloe and I felt pretty terrible about this.
