Jon, This goes back well over fifty years when I was a senior in high school. I went to a private Catholic school run by the Holy Cross Nuns from Notre Dame and I was the only farmer in the entire school. My Dad had died several years earlier and our routine was that we got up and my Mother started milking forty cows at four AM while I cleaned the gutters and did all the feeding and put the cans of milk in the cooler. We had a fresh cow in the maternity pen with a problem so we had to call the vet and I was late for school. I got to school just as the Biology class was nicely started and the Mother Superior taught this class. As I walked in as quietly as I could Sister Rosemary singled me out and asked "Tom, Why are you late today?" As politely as I could I said "Sister, We had this cow freshen and we had to call the Vet and I had to stay and help him." Her next question was "What was wrong with the cow" and without even giving it a thought I blurted out that "she went to get up and stepped on her t-t and we had to put several stitches in it." At this point every girl in the class folded their arms and put there heads down on their desk's and moaned and every boy cracked up and was laughing at me. This nun was originally from a farm background near Woodstock, Illinois and always took a liking to me. She held three doctorate degrees from Notre Dame University when women were not allowed to go to school there with the exception of the Holy Cross Nuns during summer school. The only thing she said was the next time I won't ask for quite as much detail. I don't know how many times that I apologized to her. One can only imagine the talk at the dinner table in the convent that evening. I have never forgotten this but compare it with what happens in school today.
