            MoG! I LOVE when you do these! Thank you!



            38. You are more likely to get attacked by a cow than a shark. omg! I knew cows were dangerous! the first time I saw one face to face I screamed "its going to bite me" and ran screaming and crying down the mountian. seriously.
            It was huge, it had giant sized teeth and a look in its eye - my best friend told me it was harmless (in between laughter) and that it was just a baby cow. IF that was a baby - how HUGE are the grown ups!

                  LMAO I don't think that the flatness of the teeth registered with my brain, I was walking with my head down and when I looked up - there it was in my face, huge teeth wanting to bit me! I just ran and ran

                    How old were you? My uncle is a dairy farmer, I learned that as long as you could see their teeth you were probably in an ok position, its when their tail was in your face that you might be in danger!
