When the cattle are hungry, they make no bones about it. "MOOOO!!!!" (That's Ruby.) "HONNNKKKKK!!!" (That's Matilda. She sounds like a foghorn.) "MEEEHHHH" (That's Sparky.) "NEEEIIGGHHH!!!!" (That's Brit. Okay, she's not a cow, but you get the idea.)
Inside the house, the phone rang. Older Daughter answered it, determined the call was for Don, and ran the phone out to him just as he was poised to pitch the first flake of hay into the feedboxes for the hungry animals.
He took the phone. "Hello?"
"Hello Mr. Lewis! This is James with GoDaddy.com, and we want to thank you for renewing your service with us. We were just wondering if there's anything else we might be able to interest you in..."
"Look," said Don. ("MOOOOO!!!! HOONNNNNKKK!!!! MEEEHHH!!!!") "I wish I could talk right now, but I have a whole bunch of cows here who are going to mutiny if I don't get them fed." ("MOOOOO!!!! HOONNNNNKKK!!!! MEEEHHH!!!!") "So thank you very much, we love GoDaddy, thanks for calling, goodbye!"
"Um...uh, goodbye..."
I'm guessing that is an excuse James with GoDaddy.com doesn't hear every day of the week.
