It's good when teenagers have dreams. They are more likely to succeed if they have a vision for their future. And less likely to do drugs or be truant or get pregnant.But when your dream is to become a diary farmer by stealing livestock, you may want to consult with a life coach and workshop some other ideas.
I read a story this weekend (http://www.twincities.com/ci_16778358) about a couple of ambitious teens from central Minnesota who wanted to get a jump start on their careers. They intended to start their own dairy farm, but since they were low on capital, they decided to steal a few calves from their neighbors. 17 calves to be exact, from 3 different counties. See? Ambitious.
I can't even picture this. There are lots of weird sounds and smells that emanate from a teenagers room, but those of the bovine variety have to be pretty obvious. Weren't their parent's suspicious? What did they say? "Josh. Clean you room. It smells like shit in there." And just leave it at that?
Okay so maybe they didn't hide 17 calves in their bedrooms but where did they put them? How did they hide them for so long? And who wants to be a dairy farmer that badly anyway?
Why couldn't they have just smoked some weed, crashed a few cars and blown their SAT's like we did when we were young?
Kids these days.
