One Of These Things Is Not Like The Other

I have been meaning to write this story down for some time. It's been about 2 years coming...So we have this great little river by our house that keeps Russell busy all summer long. So one day he and his cousin Dallin were exploring the river, they came running home so excited, "Mom, there's a dead cougar in the river!" They took everyone they could think of to see that dead cougar. Days had gone by and his excitement had not dissipated. We were driving by the river and he finally got Rick to concede to pull over and check it out. When they got back, I was like, "Well was it all that you ever dreamed it would be?" Rick said, "Well yes, if my dreams included a baby calf." Russell was slightly embarrassed. It was a few days later when we were all driving in the car again, Rick yelled, "Holy crap, there's a whole herd of cougars!" Russell's head whipped to the side so fast, "WHERE?" We all started laughing as Russell realized that Rick was pointing to the herd of cattle that are our neighbors. Russell said, "Dad you're such a jerk!", as he sunk a little lower in his chair. Poor Russ, he'll probably never live this one down, we'll be telling it to his friends and future girlfriends for years to come.
