Say What You Mean II

Several years ago I was riding through the cut over behind a five year old rider. I noticed that her pants leg had pulled up over her boot and her soon to be sore leg was rubbing the leather fender on the old saddle.

"Pull down your blue jeans!", I called out. She paused for a moment as if she could not process my meaning. She then, without turning around in the saddle, simply said "OK"

She then raised up in the saddle, hooked her thumbs in the top of her pants and began to try to remove her pants.

Before she got too far, I was able to get her to stop. I then better explained my directive.
