Where
Milk Comes From!
This school year at Belmont is finally in the last phase of ex-
istance and I for one am very happy about that. When I
returned to school last year, graduation was just a fleeting
thought but now that day is fastly approaching and my school
work has taken a precarious turn. With all my better classes
already taken, I’m now taking those slack courses that are re-
quired but needless to say are boring. Lest I offend any of my
old teachers from high school, I won’t say which ones they
are. Anyway, I have had quite a bit of fun so far.
The Tennessee State Fair was a few weeks back and I took
a girl that I wanted to date all of last year but never had the
nerve to ask out. Her name is Theresa and we had a blast at
. the fair. Being low on funds we spent most of the time walking
around and watching the crazy people visiting the fair from
all over Tennessee. Theresa is a psychology major and her
favorite past-time is people watching so she was in hog
heaven, however that night her thoughts turned from people
to cows.
Now this may sound crazy to yall but her main reason for
going to the fair (besides going out with me, of course) was to
fulfill her life long dream of milking a cow. Even though she’s
from the country she’s never had the experience of being
around cattle. I tried to heighten her excitement by sharing
some cow stories from home. I told her about ‘Bambi’, the
cow that we had when I was a kid. Daddy had bought a cow
for slaughter and of course my brother, Dale, and I made a
pet out of her by playing with her and riding her in the back
Jord Of course when it came time to kill her we pitched a fit
ecause there was no way we could eat Bambi. We had a good
laugh over that one then I told her how I used to love to go
over to the Randall’s dairy farm on Bethlehem Road and
“help” them milk their cows. My contribution was to wait un-
til the cows were lined up in the stalls then get the spray hose
and wash the manure off their feet. I always thought this was
the greatest. Theresa just laughed and probably wondered
about my sanity.
As we made our way to the cattle barn, the anticipation was
building and I was certain that she would back out at the last
minute, but before I knew it she approached four farmer-type
men and proceeded to tell them of her dream of milking a
cow. As they looked at each other with puzzled looks on their
faces, I tried to contain my laughter. One of the gentlemen
agreed to request and took her over to a fairly tame looking
brown cow. In total amazement she blurted out, ‘Look, look,
I can see it’s udders!”’ Well, I thought those guys were going
to fall over laughing. Anyway the one farmer showed her how
to milk old Bessie and Theresa’s face lit up like a little kid’s.
“Can you believe this is actually where MILK comes from?’’
Once again we all started laughing and Theresa and I walked
away with the mission accomplished.
Well, that’s all for this time. Bundle up and enjoy this cold
weather. It’s snuggling time in Music City!
