Where Water Comes From

Today I learned from J where water comes from. First he asked me why I drink so much water and I told him that it was my favorite thing to drink. He told me that milk was his favorite. Then he asked me if Holstein cows were my favorite. A little confused, I told him no, Jerseys were my favorite and then asked him why. And he answered the perfect answer for the son of a Jersey farmer: "Because Holsteins make water. Milk comes from Jerseys."

(Because Jersey milk has a higher protein content than Holstein milk does, it is thicker and creamier, even if they contain the same amount of butterfat. As a joke M likes to say that Holstein milk is water because it is thinner so that is where J picked it up from.)
