You Might Be A Midwest Farmer's Daughter...


If you pronounce creek, crick


If your early mornings during childhood involved, milking cows, gathering eggs or bringing in the sheep, and all before the school bus arrived at 6am


If you had a pet chicken named Henrietta


If you ate fried chicken who you once knew as Henrietta


If you ever rode a cow on a dare


If you rode a horse bareback on purpose


If you ever took a nap and woke up with straw face


If you once had a pony named Queenie, Blackie or Sham


If your first kiss was in the hay loft from a kid named Chuck who lived on a dairy farm half a mile away


If you had a bucket full of tadpoles that you watched become frogs and not because of a school science project


If you made jewelry out of stalks of wheat, dandielions and fireflies


If you looked forward to the annual greased pig contest and tractor pull every summer


If your Barbie Doll rode a toy John Deer Tractor


If your favorite foot wear options were, Barefoot or Cowboy Boots


If you tried "City Life" and still long to be back in the "Country"




...then you might be a Midwest Farmer's Daughter
