so I tried counting sheep.
Started counting them as they came through a partly open barn door, one by one.
I got up to 9 but number 10 was looking nervous and refused to come through.
I said come on ewe, no need to be afraid!.
The number 10 looked at me and said "well, as long as its safe, but I thought you said 7-8-9 and I thought maybe I'm next.
