What do you want for your birthday?

Braden loves loves loves animals, particularly farm animals, and particularly cows.  (He sings Old MacDonald ten times a day!)

There was one day last month when I asked him, "What gift do you want for your birthday?"  He answered "I want a farm!"   I laughed and I told him, "Braden, a farm is too big!  I can't give you a farm.  What do you want for your birthday then?"   Braden shouted "A COW!"

Another time, he was reading a book about a farm when he said "I love farms!" I said, "Oh do you want to be a farmer when you grow up?"  He quickly answered "No, A COW!"    (Again!)
