My oldest son and myself are off on a road trip to visit his children we haven't seen for a very long time. Will they remember good stuff that we remember like this tale I shall tell me son on the way. Oldest son was 2 when we were invited to a farm run by a farm hand my husband had befriended. I never liked this person, there was always something in the back of my mind that never sat right. So we hopped in our old car and found the farm which was in a remote part of Upper Hutt. WE looked at the cows, and on our way back to the farmhouse the chickens and hens caught my sons eye. Never having seen a chicken before, he was delighted with the fluffy balls chirping in his fathers hand. In the background Mr Rooster was wailing and letting everyone know he was in charge of the yard. Then Mr Rooster decided to fly over to us and hitch a ride on my sons small shaky shoulder!Son was horrified,and screamed and cried for all he was worth, to no avail. The farmhand laughed and laughed,I was distraught with worry, trying to remove this cling on off my child.Mr Rooster flapped and crowed and just like that he was off, quite happy with himself.My son never went near this man whenever he visited our home, and after a short time was transferred out of the area much to my delight. It took some time for my boy to get over his encounter with the rooster. That was 30years ago and son is fine. I had been writing to a man in prison in America for a short time and we were talking about nicknames, and he told me a very similar story that had happened to himself as a small child on a farm in Georgia,and was called rooster in prison. A very small world we live in. here's A GREAT PUDDING FOR COLD NIGHTS . PEACH ROLL UPS.
