The Evil Homework

Okay, to begin with, I would like to say 3 letters, LOL!!!!! That pretty much sums up my last class of the day.

Today, we had to be back from Ag early, so we only had a limited time to do 'farm work'. I, along with Alice, chose to play with the alpacas, and there you have it, our first mistake. To begin with, there were only five of us, and 3 alpacas. This may seem as if we out number them, but they're huge, like really freaking GIGANTIC ALPACAS!!!! Psycho alpacas, the pen today, the world tomorrow, coming soon to a theater near you. Then came our second problem, their bridles, which are supposed to go on EASILY didn't. Well... technically, one of them seemed to, but the second one, yeah... it wasn't as easy as you'd think...

We were the proud owners of the worlds most difficult bridle. Well, technically, we weren't all that proud, more frustrated. You see, it didn't go on, as in, at all. it fitted around the nose, but after that, it died. I did it up once, it didn't work. I did it up again, it died again. Third times the charm in most cases, shame it wasn't in this one.... Instead it was where it all began whirling out of control.

By now, our little group had gone up to seven, one of those new recruits was Nicholas, also known as, the root of all evil, an idiot I share all classes with and Waldo the Wizard. You see, Nick is a few sheep loose in the top paddock, well, actually, it's more than a few sheep loose, it's more like, a stray sheep stayed there because it was to stupid to do anything else. That, pretty much, gives you and idea of who Nicholas is. You see, Waldo decided to aggravate one of the alpacas, aka, he wanted one of them to spit at their holder, who shall hereby be known as Tom, because I've forgotten his name. Tom was holding the alpaca who was supposedly bridled, that alpaca was open to spitting, that alpaca spat, at Tom, twice, he was a good aimer too...

So now, we had one boy who'd been spat on, two idiots, 3 girls trying to catch an alpaca, and someone bridling the male alpaca. In case you can't tell, by now, we were really amused, and laughing our heads off. All as I tried to bridle Psycho, the alpaca, with the bridle from hell. Oh happy days... not! Ten minutes later, we'd finally thought that we had our alpacas ready for their circle around their enclosure. We lead them out, well we lead out the male easily enough, he's rather placid, then we lead out Psycho, easy enough, then, we attempted to lead out Spitter, this, is about the time that I begin to suggest going to the toilet before you wet yourself. I was required to go in and drag out Spitter, easier said than done.

So here I was, pulling a 50 tonne Alpaca who stubbornly decided that moving was not on it's to-do list as the rest of our little pack stood their, to busy (holding alpacas, remembering to breathe and laughing...) to help me. I eventually got Spitter out of his pen, it was about that time we realised that his bridle was slipping off, now, I'm not certain that you've ever seen this happen before, so you may not know the consequences. If an animal gets out of it's bridle, it's like a dog having it's leash taken off, the animal has free reign, this is NOT a good thing, at all, not one teeny tiny bit. Hence, I grabbed her around the neck and took (read: pushed) her back into her pen. it was about then I realised that I'd forgotten how to take off a bridle. Ooops?

So, by the time I'd realised that I had to undo my knot, Spitter had gotten her bridle stuck around her neck and Psycho was fighting to get free. So, Spitter got her bridle undone, and then, Psycho was dragged/pushed in and I began the seemingly impossible task of freeing a jumping alpaca, it was about now I began praying for my life. After another 5 minutes of struugle, Nicholas, the only one stupid enough to do it, was sent in. He got the seemingly easy task of holding Psycho around the neck. By now, Psycho had begun to act as if she was being murdered. Well, anyway, I finally got her bridle undone,and as she ran in one direction, Nicholas, ran in the other. Never, and I meant NEVER, in my life have I seen someone jump so high so fast, he was over the fence in a split second and stood their cowering. I'm not quite sure why though, it was only an alpaca...

Anyway, that was the highlight of my day, I'd love to hear yours,
