I grew up on a farm. I was about 17 or 18 years old, and was out sunbathing in my neon yellow bikini. The corn had been cut but the field hadn't been plowed yet, so there were short, dry, SHARP stalks sticking out everywhere.
My mom yells out the window that she is going to let the dog out. I said she better bring her out on a leash. Well, she just sends the dog out, no leash, and the dog takes off across the corn field after a rabbit. So I chase after her, BAREFOOT, cutting my feet on the corn stalks, so she won't run into the road. I catch up with her 1/4 mile away, and then she won't walk home with me, so I had to carry her 15 pound butt home. Barefoot. In a neon yellow bikini. It's funny now, but I was SO angry at the time!!
