On new years eve, after my niece, Sarah, asked me for the tenth time, "What is that noise?" I changed my answer from "firecrackers" to "exploding cows." And then I went on the explain that is where all the ground beef comes from. So many cows explode, we have enough for the whole year until they start exploding again.

She laughed and then said, "Noooo. That's firecrackers." But she did stop asking for the rest of the night.

Happy new year, everyone.
