best thing i heard all day...

Passing Diamond M Ranch today, my friend Jesse muttered, "It would be so boring to be a cow. Just standing there, chewing cud all day." Everyone was silent for a moment and then we all laughed.

Later that day, in fact it was just a couple hours after that, Jesse proceeded to eat paint. We were painting the children's room, at a church here in town, an underwater blue color. She and Abe were posing for pictures that looked like they were licking the rollers. And then Abe says, "Let's really do it." And they did. Both of them. They licked the paint off the rollers and wiped it on Jesse's shirt. I just stood there thinking, "That can't be good. Or good for them." She spent half the rest of the morning hacking and coughing because of the taste and the other half of the rest of the morning getting high by sniffing the paint. And this is one of the RAs. I am supposed to look up to her. Scary. But I just can't help but love her.
