Barnyard Follies

Newton: Hey, check it out, I have a chicken.

Pierre: I think that’s a rooster.

Newton: Ashton must have left it here to make eggs for her chicken emporium.

Pierre: That isn’t how roosters work, Newton. Didn’t anyone ever explain the birds and the bees to you?

Newton: What do bees have to do with anything? This is about a chicken.

Newton: It doesn’t TASTE like chicken. Ashton needs to be more picky about her stock.

Pierre: You need to come out from inside there and let me have a turn.

Newton: Why? This chicken and I are just getting started making friends.

Pierre: Because my right paw said so.

Newton: Hey, watch where you’re putting that thing! You could poke out the chicken’s eye. Think of the chicken.

Pierre: It’s a rooster. And I am thinking of it.

Newton: See what you did? You broke the barn. Knocked it off its foundation. And the chicken was so scared, he fainted.

Pierre: It’s a rooster.

    That poor barn! And that chicken, or rooster, or whatever it is, I have my doubts about how tasty it is.

    Good boy Newton, for trying to protect that chicken. Pierre probably wants to eat the poor chicken. Can’t wait to see the next chapter.

    Ok guys, listen up. A rooster is a chick-hen, just a boy chick-hen. Then the girls are called hens, so a hen, chick-hen.

    Got it? Good.

    Mommy and I BOTH say that this is just what we both needed. Seeing this great drama play out and the fainting chicken… er… rooster…made us both stop feeling quite so sad and we got to smile and show our fangs. Well, *I* did. Hers, not so much *very unimpressive*.
