Things I’ve learned as a kid growing up on a farm #2…
1. If you pull the legs off a Daddy long legs spider one by one they will bite you.
2. Red ants bite. Especially when you poke a stick in its ant hill and try to stir it… Black ants react the same way.
3. Although sheep are small, soft and look friendly, they can buck you off like a crazed horse or smash you into the fence. Mental note, they don’t like to be ridden and are quite skiddish, no matter how many times you try.
4. Blood suckers die when you add salt to them. My mother always wondered where all her boxes of salt went to. I was just trying to kill the blood suckers in the pond so I could swim in it without being attacked.
5. 10 boxes of salt is not enough to kill a pond full of blood suckers.
