can we have a goat?

I was in the living room with the boys today when Luca started to look a bit longingly toward the backyard.

"Mom, maybe I may have a goat in our backyard...and I may ride on him."

Biting my lip, "Well...we better ask Dad about that one, Luca."

We call Dad at work. I hear Luca's end of the phone conversation. "Dad, can we have a goat in the backyard so I may ride him?....... Goats eat grass Dad.....
We have grass!"

(Lars is thinking...'hmmmmmm.....i really would never have to get all hot and sweaty on my day off cutting the grass ever again)
