My native Iowan supervisor and I were walking up Madison St. when she saw an open metal container to our right. Since she grew up on a farm, she stopped to teach this L.A. girl something she knows I wouldn’t know .
“Do you know what this is?” She said. “It’s a trough. It’s used for cows.”
I looked at the size and shape of the container. Then, I asked her, “Is it a cow bathtub?” I then thought, How would a cow even fit in there? Is that even big enough? How big are cows?
My supervisor chuckled and told me, “Cows drink water out of it.”
“Oh.” A total L.A. County Fair moment by yours truly. I guess there’s no such thing as a cow bathtub.
