A friend of mine shared this with me via e-mail so I just had to share.

When
you're from the country, your perception is a little different.......
A Missouri farmer in his pickup, drove to a
neighbor's, and knocked at the door. A boy, about 9, opened the door
"Is your Dad home?"
"No sir, he
isn't; he went to town."
"Well, is your
Mother here?"
"No sir, she
went to town with Dad."
"How about your
brother, Howard? Is he here?"
"No sir, He went
with Mom and Dad."
The rancher stood
there for a few minutes, shifting from one foot to the other, and
mumbling to himself.
"Is there
anything I can do for you? I know where all the tools are, if you want
to borrow one, or I can give dad a message."
"Well,"
said the rancher uncomfortably, "I really wanted to talk to your
Dad. It's about your brother Howard getting my daughter, Suzie,
pregnant."'
The boy thought for a moment. "You would have to talk to Dad about
that. I know he charges $500 for the bull and $50 for the hog, but I
don't know how much he charges for Howard."

Yes sir. It is all about how you are raised and look at things in life.
