Conversation with Clover

Me: “Clover, I didn’t appreciate your hoof in the milk bucket this morning.”

Clover: “I want a cookie.”

Me: “I also didn’t appreciate the way you kicked the rope off your hoof, twice, before you stepped in the bucket, or the way you looked at me afterward as if I were an evil troll.”

Clover: “I want a cookie.”

Me: “I need some cooperation here, Clover.”

Clover: “I want a cookie.”

Clover: “I. WANT. A. COOKIE.”

Me: “Coco! You’re in charge of these goats! Do something!”

Coco: “Do you want me to eat her cookie?”

COCO!!!

"First it's glowing, then it's snowing! A pause, then screaming squalls and williwaws. Bright but bitter, then a thaw. Yet again it's cold and storming: What ever happened to global warming?"
