Hello Smarty

Now it wasn't just the young organic farmer, Roomie's coworker who was also almost 17 years younger than her, asked if she wanted to go someplace together after work. He was cute and funny and smart, and a drummer, and she wanted to go.  But, she was getting picked up by a former guitarist and couldn't accept the instant invite, alas.  Would there be another?


Jill's boss set other standards, such as the mandatory meeting that was a job requirement for all staff, but not for all the staff, since one coworker didn't show and yet was giggling with the boss the next day in the office.  Jill put it out of her mind and just kept doing the work.  She certainly had a lot going on!


"Why are the barn doors so closed?" another boss asked, coming in.

"Because I just had the foal out on cross ties for her very first time" Jill said, peeking out the stall door she was working in, grinning over the wheel barrow. "and, she was GOOD AS GOLD while I groomed her." The boss also smiled, slightly.

The boss had said the day before that most youngsters flip over backwards the first time they're tied.  Jill was sure it wouldn't be that way with this one.

The next day, Jill made the still unnamed 5 month old baby stand in the tie stall all by herself while she changed her water bucket. And, she made her pick up each of her feet and added brushing the tail to the grooming routine. The little baby seemed to like it! 


The variety in routine, or just the attention perhaps? Whatever. She was sweet.  It would never do to have a cuddly racehorse, Jill knew, but still she couldn't help kissing the cute baby face and showering her with cutsie compliments.

Jill heard the boss talking about it excitedly to the partners, when she was out of the barn. "and, Jill's being doing stuff with her and she just seems so smart"   It was agreed, no one had ever heard of a baby being so good right off the bat the like that.

Jill thought they should name her breezy (because she was so easy AND please-y).
