I work at a university farm, where visitors are welcome. Well today, I was doing some work in the calf barn when a little boy came in with his mom to see the calves. I said hello and went about my business and I heard the kid whisper to his mom "What is that girl doing" and his mom said "well I guess she is a farmer" and he goes "But she's a GIRL! Girls can't be farmers!"
I didn't know whether to laugh or be mad at the ignorance of our world....it just reminded me how people are so stereotypical regarding farmers and it makes me mad. Seems that a lot of people think farmers are just a bunch of low I.Q. hicks in overalls.
Not that I don't love my Carhartt overalls.
