“You Have Cow Eyes”
Have you ever been told you have cow eyes? It’s supposed to be a compliment. Cow eyes are big and dark and kind of dreamy looking. That’s one reason to give up beef or at least to not get up close and friendly before a steak dinner.
Well, I once knew a man who had cow eyes. Let me explain.
While not identical, bovine eyes are very similar to human eyes. If you are a science teacher and you want your middle school students to learn first hand about the human eye by dissection, what do you do? You obviously don’t have access to human eyes.
A teacher I knew years ago had access to a butcher and this butcher had access to cow eyes. He was especially fond of the teacher and could not say no when she requested enough for each of her students. They made plans for her to pick them up on a certain day. Imagine his family’s dismay when he came home from work that day with a bucket full of cow eyes.
“I absolutely adore cows. They’re the most fascinating gentle and beautiful animals. Their eyes are so amazing. I have ten that live on the land around my house. I love to talk to them.” Mary Quant
Your blogs never get old and always, always are interesting. As Bart Simpson would say, Cowabunga, Man”!
This one is a moo-ving experience.

I was a vegetarian for 10 whole years. I ate nothing that had a face and then I went back to the dark side. Congrats to you!

Not being a country girl….., I’ve never been close enough to a cow to see her eyes! Didn’t get to dissect an eye either…. sorry this one was not a very helpful response!

Wow, what a post. You do think up the most interesting topics. I really wonder if the students enjoyed those eyes. I can hear them now, “ugh, gross, do we have to, or neat, awesome,” etc.
