#WhatNotToSayToAFarmMom

There are always "cute" or catchy hashtags floating around social media circles.  A popular tag trending on Twitter today is #HowToRuinADateWithAFarmer.  My farm mom friends and I have come up with a new hashtag that is all our own, #WhatNotToSayToAFarmMom.  Yes, it is a bit wordy, but the little quips we are sharing have taken on a life that is all their own.  Here are a few of our favorites.

- "Can't you just call in sick?"

- "It will only take a minute, and then I will be in for dinner."

- "Oh, so you don't have a job?
                        said to the very busy farming mom

- "Just one more round. . ."  And, then four hours later. . .

- "Everyone is alright but. . ."

- "Can you have that baby, get married, (fill in the blank__________) after harvest?  Preferably not during hunting season.

- "Isn't the county fair the same thing as a vacation?

- "Can't I bid just one more time?"
                         overheard at more than one livestock auction

- "Everyone is alright, but. . ."

- "The sheep are out, and the bus is coming!"
                          overheard in Chuckery more than once!
