I shared the story below with mum as we walked past the cow, now covered in Xmas lights as it was a couple of months later. She asked me to remind her of the story on the way home as we passed the cow again. When I pointed to it on the way home she shouted (pointing) “Horse!”
Walking past a life size model of a cow in Truro near the Pannier Market and mum points to it saying “Monkey!” I lost it laughing as did many people around us. I laughed so hard that I snorted and mum said “No, pig!” The next time we walked past, within a week I think, I pointed at the cow and said “Monkey!” Her response was “Don’t be silly, that’s a cow!” and walked off.
