Tuesday's Tip (#13)

Here's a tip for you:

Buy a cow.

If you have more than one kid, just go ahead and buy a cow. I know nothing about cow care and maintenance, but it's got to be better than the constant fear of running out of milk. I was at BJ's on Sunday and we bought two gallons of milk. I almost got three, but since we were stocking up on groceries, I figured there wouldn't be enough room in the fridge. (Plus, where would I put the beer and wine if I bought another gallon of milk?) Here it is, Tuesday morning, and we have half a gallon left. I know cows aren't exactly accustomed to city life, but, I've got an average-sized yard. Surely she wouldn't mind grazing out there. It would really help me out with our 3 - 4 gallon a week milk habit! I'm thinking that after a few short weeks, this cow will have paid for itself. Not to mention the fact that Sophie has been complaining that she doesn't have her own pet like the big kids do. Two birds, one stone, baby...

Not out of place at all!
