Female Goats On The Farm

Must be a big day around these pastures cause on my way for 2nd cup of java i ran into step - daughter goat leaving the house at 5:20 am . Given , that's closer to the bed time than the rise time for that one i know something is up so i proceed to ask ..

" Where are you going this early in the day and she says to the NSO ( National Statistics Office ) to get an official copy of her birth certificate " . Ok  but perhaps they don't open until about 8 am so why so early ?

" Because , they only take the first 500 in line for the day " . Which brings up my next question of " why not just order on - line and wait for delivery " to which i am told " because you still have to go to the bank to pay for " , so it's a trip either way .

Personally , i would find it easier to just make visit to the bank than take all day to do but then i am an " old goat " . Suspect there is some other motive hidden within the Filipino female psyche which makes it imperative to be done today , however .

Like , maybe something to do with the on - line resume she submitted and the response she got back from Dubai and ? All of which makes me extremely suspicious of course being an " old goat " and all . But then you just get the rolling eyes and the " oh , dad " look .   :-)

I mean , you do hear horror stories about locals that go abroad to certain Middle Eastern countries and then end up having to ask the Philippine government for assistance in getting back , or worse . Forget the Lawrence of Arabia thing . Do you know how hard it is to make a get a way on a damn camel ?  :-)

Maybe it's just an " old papa goat " thing but when an offer sounds to good to be true it usually is .

Stay tuned for future instalments...
