Things you never thought you'd say

I thought this might be fun. What things have you or other members of your household said that you'd never thought to hear? Just today we had these (said by my husband):

No, Jacob, do not pull the bread off the counter! (Jacob is our LaMancha wether who the children delight in letting in the house)

Honey, there's a goat at the door for you. (I was late putting the goats into the secure overnight pen and they were on the porch staring in the French doors, waiting on me to get with the schedule, lol.)


Oh wait, here's another! This was said by me last week:

I don't care if it IS cute, goats don't need clothes. Take the boxer shorts OFF Jacob.

LOL! Too cute. Star's former owners warned us she'd come to the door, thankfully she can't get that close, hehe.

"Get your head out of the toilet"

"Yes, that is an emu in my kitchen"

"Well, actually yes, there is a goat in the picture behind the emu...yes they are both in my kitchen"

and from my husband
"Its disturbing to see how excited you get about what comes out of a chickens butt"

Lol all of them are great.

"Yes we put a diaper on the baby goats."

"Go check to see what that poop looks like."



the Boyfriend. "OH NO... Donna she's peeing on me....no no no wait until shes done before you pick her up." NEVER thought I would not only hear wait until shes done but he was no where near as upset as I thought he would be. He then said another I never thought I would hear him say. "At least she peed on me and not the sofa."

When I was trying to get a good idea of what a good udder should look like on the internet, my husband would ask, "Are you looking at goat boobs again?"

My husband, "Are you looking at goat butts again?" "What are you bringing in the house this time?" "That stanchion looks like some sort of medieval torture device" "NO more goats! ...Which one were you wanting?"

Me "Goat berries are not food!" "Hmmm, whats with the pine cone poo?" "Oh, she has goo on her hooha!"

My mother when I was a teenager, "Get that horse out of the house!!!!!" I had led my Arabian mare most of the way into the living room when my mother came around the corner.

Yep, we've heard that one here, too! Except the question was, "Is this Ben or Jerry we're eating?"

My husband also said, "No more goats. Wait, that Nubian buckling is nice."

Here's a few:

"Holy yolks! $3.50 a dozen for eggs?"

"Looks like the dandilions have sprouted up in abundance this spring. Excellent!"

"No, that looks well formed and normal to me."

"Do you mind if I put my hand down there and feel around a bit?

"Gosh, at that price, maybe we can learn to draw our own blood"

"Do you want me to thaw out a male? or do you want to grill up one of the (smaller) females instead?"

"In that case, I choose the Indian restaurant because they're the only ones that serve goat".

Our little wether Grover had been sick, we thought we were going to loose him. After a week of nursing him back to health we brought him on the house to show the kids how much better he was feeling. We brought him to my sons door and my son just shook his head, them we brought Grover to the living room where our daughter was recovering from a migraine. She was petting him and talking to him when Grover decided he had to go. I said "He is pooping, dont move". We got him out and the poop cleaned up, most of it. Those small little dark round poops really blend in well with a dark rug. HAHA

Oh we had a boer girl that was sick and we took her to the vets and she made it all the way to the vet, sitting in the waiting room of the vets, in the office of the vets, checking out and paying for the bill. Walked outside mind you they were doing a rabies clinic so there was a lot of people there and what does little Miss Stevie do? Pooped all down my arm, leg and onto my boot. And it wasn't berries it was ploppy and tons of it. Everyone looked at me and mom grabbed the towel and of course I said "Clean off Stevie first, I will wipe the poop off and wash when I get home." Those that had normal pets like a dog were totally shocked. lol

My wife said to me, "I think I have this farming thing figured out. Buy high and sell low, cause it sure hasn't worked out the other way."

"If we win the lottery we can retire and see the world, or we can keep farming until thats gone too."

"Have you checked to see if everyones poop is OK today?"

"When I asked you how your kids are I meant your children." This, after I went on at some length about our newest additions to the herd to my best friend.

"If you let that stinking billy near my girls, he'll be in freezer camp before sunset."

"Sure, we can get make our money back on them....when goat meat hits twenty bucks a pound we can break even."

"Mommy, Wally's in the refrigerator again..."


Let's review rule #1: No cats in the refrigerator =^..^=

ETA: Sorry, didn't see that this is in Goats forum. I'm tired and have no brain function left.
