Every few years I get the yearning for a donkey.

I’ve always wanted one.

Most women my age yearn for another baby.

I’ve never really cared for babies much.

Well …… I really liked the baby I had, but not enough to have another one.

I might feel that way about a donkey. I don’t know. I haven’t had one yet.

Meet “Romeo”. My friend’s donkey. He wants to re-home him.

My conversation with T.H. would go something like this:

Me:  “I really want a little donkey.”

T.H.: “What?”

Me: “I want a donkey before I get any older.”

T.H.: “You’re already too old to have a donkey.”

Me: “A lot of women my  age have donkeys.”

T.H.: “Donkeys live forever. You can’t kill them.”

Me: “Won’t it be nice to have a little friend in our old age?”

T.H.: “I don’t want to be in our 70’s still taking care of a donkey.”

Me: “It will keep us young.”

T.H.: “Who’s paying for this donkey?”

Me: “It’s a free donkey.”

T.H.: “If you get a donkey …. you’re paying for it!”

At this point, I would end the conversation.

Because we are right back where we ended up with the Porta-Potty.

The Donkey will appear and T.H. will never acknowledge it’s existence.

  1. It is my strong hope that you become the new companion to a donkey. You deserve a donkey. I also love that his name is Romeo – a very appropriate donkey name. I, of course, am the contented companion to three donkeys myself.

    I just love donkeys too. They have the sweetest faces. It is good that you have horses, dogs, cats etc. They are pack animals too and must have company. Why am I telling you this? you know all this better than I. I am living vicariously through you. ha.. Just look at that sweet face. Even TH won’t be able to resist that.
