I never see a real cow in day-to-day life, so I only moo in the dairy isle.
Look, I'm just saying that sometimes I'm up on my cow-brained bullshit mooooooooooooo
And also what if you have to learn COW
If you never moo'd at a cow or baa'd at a sheep you never lived
Cows don't even go moo most of the time.
They go NEURRRGH NEURRRGH
Thank you! Somebody else gets it!
Yeah sheep go "MEH" like they're singularly unimpressed at everything
Well if you had learned about the animal sounds you'd know why the cow didn't say thank you
Basic verbal building blocks and a fun way to get kids speaking. It's like how a lot of schoolwork isn't really going to serve you much in life, but the habits / work ethic you pick up from it definitely will.
Not to mention testing/practicing recall.
schoolwork builds habits and work ethic?
If anything it just taught me that life is bullshit and nothing matters because it's all manufactured, but maybe that's what i get for not being impressionable.
If it's not a skill you can apply in a toxic warehouse/office we should not teach it at all
/s for psychotic anarcho capitalists
we love a good psychotic anarcho capitalism posting in this household :)
Well for people who aren't hopelessly broken, it can be very beneficial
that's cool, so what are we doing for people who are hopelessly broken?
Moo at them
cool, so i get to moo at people to pretend like im normal, cool.
Now you're getting it
i don't think i'm getting it, can you moo at me for example?
Which direction are you from Michigan?
sure, good enough.
especially when we are making most animals extinct now
Generally kids education is focused on the animals that taste good.
Like cat, bat and dog. All the delicious ones.
I might have missed this when I was a kid but WTF does a bat say?
“EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEeeeeeeeeeeee ow what the fuck, who’d I just run into” or something I guess
its probably a series of bonks intermixed with EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE
So this is why I get death stares from cows; not speaking to them in their native language.
When I was a kid, my sister and I would play a game on road trips called, "Hey Cow!" It's a Midwestern game.
Basically, you hang your head out the car window when you see a field of cows, and scream, "HEY COW!!" at the top of your lungs. You get a point for every cow that looks at you. You take turns yelling at cows until the road trip is over, or until you lose your voice. Usually, it was the latter.
My mother let us play this game because we would lose our voices early on, and then the rest of the road trip would be silent.
Did any people ever look up?
We usually played this game out in the Midwest farmlands, so there was rarely any people in the cow pastures. But yes, if there were any people out there, they would look up too.
Smart!
Animal sounds are to get the kid to try out mouth noises as practice for more complex verbal expression.
I've met people who speak as if they've never tried to make any of these sounds.
They don't sound very good when you hear them.
