Surprised the kids this rainy Saturday….

Dear Mr. Cathy, CEO of Chick Fil A,
I wanted to express my appreciation for your bringing Cow Appreciation Day to the attention of the world. Cows are certainly an under appreciated animal. A day for them is warranted indeed. Just the fact that they have 4 stomachs makes them worthy of some special appreciation.

My family had the novel idea of celebrating the day by dressing up like this special creature. We were pleasantly surprised when we arrived at our local Chick Fil A for lunch and were given free food in appreciation of our appreciation for the cow. Thank you for the free combo meal for me and 4 free 6 piece kids meals. Apparently, my youngest child was not all that thrilled about it. She slept through the whole meal. But, don’t worry. Her chicken did not go to waste. My younger son Drew apparently must be growing. He ate 11 chicken nuggets himself.

For some reason, the children removed their body decorations as soon as they got their food. Don’t take it personally, please, Mr. Cathy.

And, fortunately, my youngest did wake up just in time to leave the restaurant (after a few fries) and go home for nap time.

Thank you again for making this day one that we will mark on our calendars for years. Perhaps next year, you can work with Hallmark to design some special cards for the occasion. I would buy them. Perhaps this woman would buy them as well.

Thank you again. Long live the cow. And, eat more chicken.
Genuinely,
Kelly Raudenbush
