They absolutely refuse to try to lick the formula, even from my fingers, which is the first step in getting them to drink from a bowl. They don't realize they would get fed faster if they didn't have to wait for each other to finish sucking.
In other news, #1 Son went camping! I'm used to #2 Son wanting to be outdoors day and night in all weather. I thought #1 Son was more like my mom, Miss Prissy, who thinks roughing it is a hotel with no room service.
In honor of national humor month:
DEA officer stops at a ranch in Texas , and talks with an old rancher. He tells the rancher, "I need to inspect your ranch for illegally grown drugs." The rancher says, "Okay , but do not go in that field over there," as he points out the location.
The DEA officer verbally explodes saying, " Mister, I have the authority of the Federal Government with me." Reaching into his rear pants pocket, he removes his badge and proudly displays it to the rancher. "See this badge? This badge means I am allowed to go wherever I wish.... On any land. No questions asked or answers given. Have I made myself clear? Do you understand? "
The rancher nods politely, apologizes, and goes about his chores.
A short time later, the old rancher hears loud screams and sees the DEA officer running for his life chased by the rancher's big Santa Gertrudis bull......
With every step the bull is gaining ground on the officer, and it seems likely that he'll get gored before he reaches safety. The officer is clearly terrified. The rancher throws down his tools, runs to the fence and yells at the top of his lungs.....
" Your badge. Show him your BADGE ! "
