An elderly acquaintance, invited for dinner at a couple's house, was sitting in the living room with their 7 year-old son, as he colored in his coloring book. Making conversation, he asked the boy what they were having for dinner.

"Goat? replied the old guy, "are you sure about that?"
"Well," said the boy, "this morning, I heard dad tell mom, "'we might as well have the old goat for dinner today, and get it over with.'"
