It's Dee. :) Well, there's a dog food factory by my mom's work and it smells pretty nasty during the summer. lol

You have the spotted cows, right? Because everyone likes to say they don't exist because they've never seen one. :'(

LOL!  The spotted cows are dairy cows, and they do exist.  That's where your milk comes from.  And yes, we do have them in this part of the country, although where I live, I see more of the brown beef cattle.

Dee,
   Yup, we have the spotted & non spotted cows in Iowa! They really do exist! The spotted cows are the dairy cows. For years I believed that they were spotted so they could make white and chocolate milk. I was a gullible child as you can clearly see! LoL

Well I've seen one before, but no one else seems to believe me. lol We only have the brown ones and black ones. :(

One of my friends' moms used to say that. lol I told her I hated chocolate milk and it was just from a squeeze bottle. I was a spoilsport. lol

Yep, I'm from Illinois - right next door to ya! :P  Lots of corn and cows here too.

And it's Julie. :)  (Sorry, I forgot I don't have my name in my signature anymore!)

Cool Julie... Illinois is close enough to Iowa, at least they both start with "I", it would also explain why we both had the same thoughts at the same time, us midwesterners are just smart like that! HeHe

And Dee, nah you weren't a spoiled sport, just a kid! I have kinda a funny story about milk and cows though... I don't know if anyone is familiar with Wells Blue Bunny (they make milk, ice cream, pretty much all dairy products) Anyway, Wells is based out of my hometown, so growing up we always had Wells Blue Bunny milk, the carton had a Blue Bunny on it (no one said Iowans were orginal) and it was the only kind of milk that I had ever had. We went to visit my aunt & uncle in South Dakota one summer and they had a cow that they milked that supplied milk for their family. I refused to drink the cow milk because I only liked milk that came from bunnies. And as hard as my parents tried to convince me that cows made all milk, being the stubborn four year old that I was, I was not about to drink anything other than bunny milk. So, I ate dry cereal and drank Kool-Aid the whole week we were there. LoL

LOL!  That's a cute story.  I love Blue Bunny ice cream; their banana split flavor is my favorite.

Totally!  I like crunchy stuff, not soggy stuff.  Ew.  The only cereal I can tolerate with milk is Rice Krispies, and I seriously think it's only because the little kid in me likes the snap, crackle, pop LOL.  I don't eat Rice Krispies all that much anyway though.  I mostly only eat Special K.

Is it sad that I never even ate rice krispies with milk? lol I must be a deprived child. Cheerios are my favorite though. :) No heart disease in my future. lol
