Farm Life:

7 am Wednesday morning, Gregori (3.5 years old) is sitting on the truck in his dinosaur footy pajamas and I am talking to him through a paper mask of Darth Vador.  (Deep voice) "You must take your medicine!" (Breath sound in. Breath sound out.)  "NO!!  It's too yukky!"  We are at the dentists and he was supposed to eat a Valium and then get some work done.  He let part of the pill dissolve in his mouth before he spit the rest into the water cup declaring "This tastes yukky!"  After much failed negotiation, we had to cancel the appointment and I spent the rest of Wednesday morning with a whacked out kid singing to himself and eating the seat belt on the way home. But - the good part of the story is that I got a full mornings worth of rest from field work which made the rest of my week go much more smoothly.

Gregori is sensitive to substances.  Not that we are trying all kinds on him or anything like that. But he gets into things sometimes. Like the day he drank half a bottle of that red-bull substitute that Ryan, our 19 year old employee, keeps in an old Gatorade container.  I was behind two tomato rows and heard Ryan go out to get himself a drink when he said, "Hey!  What happened to my drink?"  (Pause for figuring it out) "Gregori - did you drink this?"  Gregori running full speed up and down the field yells back, "Yea - it was yukky!"  He ran full speed for 4 hours after that and ended the afternoon with a 3 hour nap.  He was very helpful and very happy during under the influence.  Very fast.  Kinda like Ryan I guess.  I will not touch that stuff.

I wish I had more stories this week - but we are running a tad behind.

Stay off the bad stuff - go for tomatoes instead.
