“If you eat one of those, it will make you smarter!” my dad said, pointing to dried goat pellets on the barn floor.

“Daaaaad,” I moaned. “I’m not two. I know better than to eat goat poop!”

“You’re right,” he said. “But I had to learn the hard way!”

“What happened?” I asked as I scooted the milking stool in place and leaned against the nanny’s warm flank and started to milk. The hollow ping of milk hitting the buckets filled the quiet air as Dad started milking another goat.

“When I was a little girl,” he started.

“Daaaad! You were never a little girl. You were a boy.”

“If you say so,” he said, “but this is my story. When I was a little girl, I looked up to my older cousin. One day, we went out to the barn at his house and he picked up some little round pellets. ‘If you eat one of these,’ he said, ‘it will make you smarter!'”

“Yucky!” I said with a shudder. “What did you do?”

“I ate it.”

“That. Is. Disgusting!”

“You’re right! I spit it right out and yelled, ‘Why did you tell me to eat that? It tastes like goat poop!'”

“What did your cousin say?”

“He told me, ‘You’re right. It IS goat poop! See, you’re smarter already!”

Ever since then, I’ve had a healthy distrust of things people promise will make you smarter.
