A few years ago, I had something sort of "strange", if you can call it that, happen to me. Well, "strange" as in threw me for a loop. True story, btw!!
I was in the city for a study session thing that I had signed up for (english :roll: ) and a tutor had me and another kid had to do some practice writing thing; more of a biography. So we were given a minute to write up this biography of our selves, then share it (read it out loud).
So I was first up and reading out loud my biography, and going over writing errors, stuff like that, when he started askin me things about my farm. So I told him that we're mixed farmers, growing crops and raise cattle, and I think the word "cattle" kinda did it...
"Oh, you're a rancher! Wow!!" (This was me: :shock:
) And then he started bombarding me with questions about THAT. :roll:
Me, I'm just sittin there shakin my head, mentally smacking my head against the wall. Yep, I got thrown for a loop, and that statment really caught me off guard!!
I guess he thought that since I'm part of helping raising and handling cattle (cows, in his opinion, lol), that equalled: rancher!
I mean, I have no real problems with being called that, but, seriously, I'm not a rancher! I'm just a simple farm girl raised on a farm 150 k north of Edmonton who likes her cattle. That's it!
I dunno 'bout you, but to me, the definition of a rancher is a person who raises a large number of livestock on a large piece of land, right?
And to the tutor, a person who raises cattle, period = rancher. :roll:
(Oh yeah. You probably already guessed that my tutor was obviously a real city slicker :lol
THat is one hell of a strange incident that I swear I will never forget. Never!! :lol:
