Once my mom was reading me a bedtime story and I asked what a bull was. She said it was a male cow...and I couldn't figure out why there would be a special name for the cow postmen, not to mention why on earth the cows wrote each other letters. Seriously. She clarified it as soon as she stopped laughing...
