Once she had gotten home, Mary had made up her mind that she would stay as a cow woman for as long as possible. She didn't care what her boss at work or any of her family had to say about it, she liked her new look and wouldn't trade it for anything.
As she unloaded her groceries, her stomach grumbled again. "Doooon't woooorry," she patted herself right above her udder. Then she chuckled at the strange sound of her voice. "Oooooh mmmmmy..." She smiled at the absurd distortion. Her voice sounded like she was poorly trying to imitate a cow while her voice was recorded and played back at slow speed.
Once everything had been sorted into the kitchen cupboards and refrigerator, Mary went about making her lunch. Strangely, a lot of the foods she wanted at the store now looked rather unappealing. She opened a bag of salad leaves and held it up to her mouth. Halfway through the contents, Mary came to her senses and realized that she was eating her lunch right out of the bag!
'What's wrong with me?' she thought to herself. She dumped the rest of the salad into a bowl and grabbed a fork. Her large fingers were still able to hold it properly, albeit with some difficulty. As she ate the rest of it piece by piece, she started impatiently stabbing at the flat leaves. On the fifth failed try to pick one up, she threw the fork down. "Oooo-It's taking tooooo loooooong!" she shouted. She once again held the entire bowl to her face and scarfed it down. She was swallowing so fast her cow bell rattled incessantly until she had finished.
Finally somewhat satisfied after the bag of salad--intended to feed a family of four to six--Mary licked the bowl clean of leftover fragments and left it on the counter. She was still a bit hungry, but it would do for--
Suddenly her stomach heaved uncontrollably. Feeling food rising back up her throat, she clamped her hands on her mouth. Her dinner came back up, but stayed within her lips. As she chewed the half-digested meal, she was less freaked out by the notion of puking up her food like a cow and more relieved that she hadn't made a mess on the floor. Once her cud was swallowed again, Mary looked around for something to do. It would still be daylight outside for a few more hours, and she didn't have any plans with friends for the evening.
"Ooooh," she sighed deeply. "I hoooope I doooon't get booored ooouuut of moooy moooind..."
