A story told to me by my mom: When I was younger we were in the car and it was raining out. We drove by a field of cows and horses and I asked my mom how the horses and cows took showers? She jokingly told me that the farmer would come out and give them a bar of soap! I apparently believed her, and told my teacher how cows and horses took showers the next day at school!
