This is funny. I'll bet he felt justified about having his knowledge called into question. I would understand you finding it hard to believe a longhorn would be moving around in the city.

Thank you for the kind review. I just didn't believe a longhorn could be in the yard.
Comment from Sankey
Loved this true story. I am a bit late coming in on this. I will get to the earlier chapters, shortly. You are posting on a different day so I knew there would be something different.

A cute little story. We have some steers and cows around this neighborhood and I have often wondered what would happen if one of them got loose somehow. Not too long ago a steer got loose in Philadelphia of all places, on the railroad tracks near the downtown station. Those people probably had a double take on that commute. estory

I'm sure they did. I guess we were the only people concerned here. LOL Thank you for the kind review.
Comment from Ulla
Aw, Barbara. This is a fun story. Your son did indeed know the difference from a deer and a longhorn. To be honest, I think most would have known this was not a deer. Lol. Ulla xxx

I think so too, but never expected a longhorn in my front yard. Thank you for the kind review.
Comment from Pam Lonsdale
I chuckled when I read this, Barbara. I also wondered if you couldn't have grilled him for dinner.
Thanks for sharing this entertaining story that can only come with family life.
P.S. We underestimate our children:-)

Comment from judiverse
You have me curious as to how that Longhorn is going to fit in with your next post. Probably lots of people wouldn't know a cow from a steer. I would definitely be in favor of fences. They don't have cowpokes out herding the cattle anymore. I can relate to the situation, as my dad's cows would sometimes wander onto someone else's property. It's funny your son was so insistent it was a Longhorn, and you kept telling him it was a deer. I couldn't understand the police response. If they didn't do steers, they surely could have directed your husband to a department that did. Anyway, it was out of your yard. Maybe the rustlers got it! This is a great anecdote. judi

You're welcome. I can understand why you found it hard to believe there was a longhorn in your yard. judi
Comment from Debbie D'Arcy
Haha! Quite a beauty! And this teaches us not to think we always know better than our children:)) I'm not sure what a steer looks like so I'm certainly not questioning the image. I'm so pleased he found his way back though. Nice, refreshing story! Thank you, Barbara. Take care Debbie

Comment from GWHARGIS
My oldest came running in the house when he was a teenager screaming that there was a mountain lion on the hood of my car. After checking it out it was a Maine Coon cat. Slightly larger than the average house cat, but no where near the size of a mountain lion. He still refused to go back out . Lol. This was a very entertaining story. Gretchen

Comment from Sandra Stoner-Mitchell
That was a delightful story, Barbara. Your son was right after all. Bless his heart. That you didn't believe him must have made you have second thoughts when you thought him to be wrong after that!! LOL Loved this. Well done, my friend. :) Sandra xxx
I will be catching up with your novel now, I've been back in the hospital, my asthma has been way out of control, and I've been feeling rather down lately. I have been catching up with some already, and it will be lovely to binge read your chapters. xxx
