Cow crossing the street right in front of my van.
Skkkkkrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrreeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeetttttttttttttttcccccccccccccchhhhhhh… (that is the sound of a minivan stopping very suddenly and all the crap in said minivan flying forward, including one purse, one empty booster seat, one pillow for the three year old, and one well-loved lovey for aforementioned three year old; I saved the travel mug full of coffee.

She hopped across the road, narrowly missing my van (and darn it, if I’d hit her it would have saved me a long trip to the meat locker next week to get my 1/4 side beef!).
Then that bovine bitch turned, stared at me, and did a touchdown dance in the ditch, complete with rear heels kicked in the air. I am not making this up. She may even have stuck her tongue out at me. I believe I was either punked by a cow or this was some sort of cattle gang initiation.
Udderly amazing.
