Dad: So guys, what should we get mum for Mother’s Day?
LR: I’ve already made something for her at school!
RJ: So did I!
Dad: Great! So what about something from all of us?
RJ: We should get her a toy because grown-ups like toys.
Dad: Umm… Sure. Got anything in mind?
RJ: How about… a toy goat!

Oooh, I want a Mother’s Day goat!

Upside: goat’s milk and mmmm, goat cheese!
