One year for Christmas I bought my husband wireless earbuds so he could stream music, books and podcasts if he wanted to while working in the barn. They also had the capability to answer phone calls. I figured they were a double whammy bonus of a present. There were a lot of farmers I’d seen using them on Instagram which inlfluenced my purchase.
Fast forward a couple years later, he’s probably used them twice. His rationale is that he likes the peace and quiet of the barn. Hearing how the cows are acting is another reason he won’t wear them. Fair points, I guess. In hindsight, I’d kind of known that’s how he enjoyed his time in the barn anyways.
This means I wear them a lot. With the arrival of baby #2 any day now, I have been prepping my podcast library. One thing I learned as a first time parent, is that newborns do a lot of eating and sleeping. After a while you want to pass the time somehow, especially if you’re sitting in a chair while they’re sleeping on you.
