When my girls saw a Chick-fil-A mascot on a street corner, they immediately and wordlessly, rolled down their windows and began mooing at it.
My husband said, “What are you doing?”
They said, “We’re talking to the cow!”
Of course they were. They do the same to dogs and cats, after all. Sadly, just like with the dogs and cats, the cow ignored them.
Perhaps their pronunciation was off. I hope they didn’t say something uncouth about his mother.
Maybe it was a South American cow. We get a lot of cows up from Argentina, you know. They should have tried mooing in Spanish as the cow likely didn’t understand an English moo.
Well, maybe you should reread Dr. Dolittle. That dude knew how to talk to animals…

Excellent point. I’ll keep that in mind for next time. In the meantime, I’d better look up the Spanish translation for moo.

After a day in steady traffic, I bet that poor employee hears mooing in his dreams. Nightmares?…

Ha. You could be right. Poor man. Or woman! We once saw a girl who had to stand all day holding a sign while wearing a prom dress. Then we saw her again the next day doing it again–same dress. I hope they get paid very well!

I have a feeling the cow was a little standoffish. Or, just tired of being mooed at all day. 🙂

He may not have heard, but if he did, it probably came across as insulting, unless he realized it was kids. Maybe then he would think it cute and/or funny. But adults (well, more likely teenagers) mooing would be hard to withstand all day, for sure. At least he has his anonymity.

I guess I never grew up, because I’d’ve probably said, “Hi, moo-cow. Moo?” same as I would to a real cow.
