We used to live out in the country. The neighbor had sheep in the corral behind our house.
DH had just planted a new apple tree in the area of our garden on one side of the driveway. We lived on the edge of a main busy highway.
My middle child now almost 33 confessed that when we lived there ( the kids were 7 / 8 / and 9) that they used to open the gate and let the sheep out!
The sheep would get out on the busy highway and we would go running for our cars to help the neighbor round up the sheep and get them back in the fence. This seemed to happen quite frequently! One time we found some of the sheep chewing up DH's little apple tree! He was not amused!!!!!
I never knew until a couple of years ago that our kids were the culprits!! DS said they thought it was so funny to see us go flying out to rustle up the sheep!!! Kids!!! Gotta love them!! Right???
