However, they should be taught manners and to how behave themselves in public. The orchard farm has rules and they should be followed. It's no surprise that many children today have a sense of entitlement. Just at look at how some parents feel everyone else should accept their child's unruly behavior, because they are, after all, "kids having fun."Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13601944941160699539noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5984487997306130330.post-27765487079376351352014-10-09T12:57:48.309-05:002014-10-09T12:57:48.309-05:00May I suggest "douche trough?" :)May I suggest "douche trough?" :)La Vosgiennehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15307455714734942296noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5984487997306130330.post-54961299318550268752012-09-29T16:50:41.208-05:002012-09-29T16:50:41.208-05:00As a teacher, I can say that field trips are a nig...As a teacher, I can say that field trips are a nightmare.

Those kids should have run amuck, rolled in the chicken poop, heard a graphic description of the horse's equipment, thrown apples at each other (and that Jeanne person), and gotten generally all dirty and farmy. I grew up in the country and our best game was punching a cow pie with a stick in order to shoot the poop all over the other person. I was insanely good at it.Linda in TXhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07852273872542742280noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5984487997306130330.post-79202442920574188442012-09-21T13:55:44.695-05:002012-09-21T13:55:44.695-05:00We had a children's dentist like that...she wa...We had a children's dentist like that...she was like a grouchy old grandma who hates kids.
