Only a Farm Boy...

When you're from the country ~ you look at things a little
differently...
A Montana rancher got in his pickup and drove to a neighboring ranch and knocked at the door. A young boy, about 9, opened the door "Is your Dad home?" the rancher asked.
"No sir, he isn't," the boy replied. "He went into
town."
"Well," said the rancher, "Is your Mother
here?"
"No sir, she's not here either. She went into town with
Dad."
"How about your brother, Howard? Is he
here?"
"No sir, He went with Mom and
Dad."
The rancher stood there for a few minutes, shifting from one foot to the other
and mumbling to himself.
"Is there anything I can do for you?" the boy asked politely. "I
know where all the tools are, if you want to borrow one. Or maybe I could take a message for
Dad."
"Well," said the rancher uncomfortably, "I really wanted to talk
to your Dad. It's about your brother Howard getting my daughter, Suzie,
pregnant."'
The boy considered for a moment. "You would have to talk to Pa about
that," he finally conceded. "If it helps you any, I know that Pa charges $500 for the bull and $50 for the hog, but I really
don't know how much he gets for Howard."
