I was thinking at first how long it would take DH & I to eat a cow. I figured that it would take us 3-4 years as we don't eat that much beef (he can't digest it well & it's too expensive). But a cow would last a family of 10 not that long I don't think. And it's so good that the older ones have responsibilities like their own laundry. DH didn't know how to do laundry when he was in college and STILL hasn't really figured out how to boil water without burning the bottom of it! I work with juv. delinquents as my job and it's so sad to see them come in, ages 12 to adult, and they don't know basic things like how to sign a paper... long time ago we accepted checks and they didn't have a clue as to how to fill out a check, including spelling the words out! Now I'm not talking about hard words.. I'm talking about like the word "fifty". Ugh! Makes me sad for the future... but then we see a family like this and there's a bright spot upon the gloom of reality.
