slo’s MONDAY 5/12 poll - Cows 🐮

Yes, I always announce “Cows” and I throw in a “Moooo” for good measure.

No, we never did this. We just looked at them. My sister is probably glad we didn’t get into the habit as she is currently visiting her in-laws dairy farm and there are cows everywhere . . .

This used to happen when I was at kid, probably to keep us interested on drives out. It'd happen for any type of larger animal (cows, horses, sheep etc), but I'm not sure why as they're pretty common animals in the fields in the UK.

Sadly it doesnt happen any more. Mostly because I spend a lot of time driving on my own so randomly announcing animals might be a bit weird the yellow car game however is another matter!

Um, of course? Where we live in the garden state doesn’t have any cows, but there are plenty 45+ minutes away. Reminds me of when DH and a couple of our kids drove from Chicago to NJ, kids fell asleep for hours and were confused why it appeared the vehicle hadn’t moved at all (just cornfields).

I recall when I was a kid, my folks would generally announce cows, horses, maybe pigs. Us kids would then imitate their moos, whinnies, or oinks. Marie and I announced same to Vince and Natalie when they were little. Maire would typically announce to Vince, 'look, Vince, cows (or whatever) (he was older so Marie was more use to calling him out). I would always follow up with, 'what about Natalie?'. We did the same with Jeremy and Christopher (they were with us a lot when they were younger) and Marie kept it up with Jeremy (2 years older) and I would say the same, 'what about Christopher?' Marie and I will still announce horses to each other when we see some of the horses at some of the horse farms on the way out to where Vince lives now, about an hour drive through some areas where there are some beautiful horse farms.
