my son is a city-boy

We have recently returned from our summer vacation visitng family in Nova Scotia. One day while driving from the cottage to town, Mitchell noticed a farm up on a hill. He surprised us when he asked incredulously "Why is there a house on that farm?" Of course living in Ottawa the "farm" that he has visited most frequently is the Central Experiment Farm - which, although a working farm, is a research facility and museum, not a family farm with a family home. He's such a city-boy!
