    I’m a good parent but a goat is a goat

      Goats are cheaper than children

        And they do a better job keeping the lawn mowed.

          And although they can bite, at least they don’t talk back (at least in an intelligent language that you can understand)

            They might not talk, but they sure can send a message.

        But are they cheaper than kids?

    I showed this to my daughter and she said that I can barely manage a cat

    Can I sell back the goats for another daughter?

      You could but you know inflation and something something in this economy and surging pricing…point is it’s going to be at least twenty percent more goats.

        Or 20% less child…

        I don’t know if this means the child is younger… Missing more limbs or older…

      But they should write an IOU for you to claim the goats later

    Ok purely hypothetical here: how many goats are we talking about?

    The going rate in goats for a teenage bride is pretty expensive these days though. Don’t ask me how I know.

    WTB goats. Seems like a good investment.

      Especially since you can always make more daughters, goats on the other hand require goats to begin with. Also they don’t complain when you tell them to go outside and mow the lawn.

        Besides, who ever said humans are better than goats? The goats don’t complain. Also I can multiply them and trade for teenage girls!

          Also when goats get too old you can just have a BBQ and feed them to your teenage girls, but just trying to doing it once the other way around and suddenly you are the bad guy.

    Hmmm… I’ve been struggling to get in touch with last year’s lawn service. Goats could indeed come in handy.
