To Feed or Not to Feed...that is the question

Apparently, I have a baby alien growing off my head somewhere.///the stares I have received in the past 24 hours!! I would like my girls to learn a rare thing...responsibility. Now I know that isn't the trend that most parents roll with these days...but I thought I would step outside the normal boundaries of what is "cool" and work on the responsibility factor! I have asked the twins to feed their FFA/4-H steer projects every morning and every evening...can you believe it? Can you believe I had to gull to ask them to take care of their project that they will receive thousands of $$$ for next year? This requires the girls to wake a few minutes early each morning and take a flash light and walk to the barn. Each evening the process is similar. I know they are the only kids in america that has to get up a few minutes early and step in a molecule of mud and possibly get a little dirt under their fingernails....but doesn't this build the character of a person??
