What is this thing?



Mom left this white thing in the barn today, not quite sure what it is. She likes to sit around and use it all day long. Sometimes she laughs, sometimes she acts worried. She calls it her calmpewter. It really confuses me, but today I thought I'd try it out. It seems to make Mom happy. Anyways, my name is Thomas. My mom says I'm a goat, but that's not true. I am a person, with goat like features. I let her call me a goat though. She doesn't know any better. She's just a human. I'm my Mom's favorite goat, even though she's never said that. I'm smart, I know these things. I like the important things in life, like any sensible person. Cookies, grain, molasses water, and hay! Actually, I like a lot of food come to think of it. Tomatoes, lettuce, cereal, garlic, lots of other things too. Anyways, Holly the brown goat had her babies almost a month ago. They're cute babies, I have to admit, and they like to climb on me. Mom mentioned something about peanuts and visa's the other day. Aren't those a type of food and one of those money cards the Fairy Goat Mother is always talking to Mom about? I don't know why they seemed so happy. I know for a fact that Mom doesn't eat peanuts and the Fairy Goat Mother won't let mom have a money card.

I guess I should tell you about our family, I'm Thomas, also referred to as "Uncle Thomas", "Mr. Thomas", and "TomTom". I'm only 1 year old, but I already know almost everything. Then there is my little sister, who isn't physically little. Her name is Indy, but almost everyone calls her "India", or "Indiana". And then, our three newest addition, the brown goat; Holly, and her two sons, my nephews, Aspen and Clover. Aspen and Clover are learning good things from me, like how to chew on ears, and fingers, and eat Mom's hair. That's the most important thing, Mom needs frequent haircuts to keep her looking her best.

Well, it's getting late and I think Mom knows I have her "calmpewter" I hear her opening the gates right now. I'll get on here later!
