some things don't change
Fire engines blocking the driveway, firemen everywhere, flames coming out of the roof and upstairs windows, and one of my kids says to the other, we need to go milk the cows. And they hitched a ride up the road to the convent and milked them. When they got back, the house was still burning, so they didn't miss much.
Some things don't change.
What do you do when your house burns down?
If you're a farmer, you milk the cows.
