A Funny Thing Happened On The Way To The Barn

We have had an incredible amount of rain the last three years and so, have had an incredible amount of mud.
Jack was trying to get the gate open while carrying the new calf to the barn and his foot got stuck in the mud. When he lifted up his foot it came out of the boot. Now he's standing on one foot while juggling a very heavy and awkward to carry calf. Not wanting to put the calf down he put his bootless foot down in the deep mud. Then he had to put the calf down anyway to pull his boot out of the mud, take his muddy sock off, put his bare foot in the boot, open the gate, pick the calf up, carry it in, put the calf down, close the gate, pick the calf up and continue on to the barn.
Phew!
All in a day's work....
