Of goats and udders

Ellie and I spent today at a local farm that's set up as an amusement park for kids. She got to ride on a pony ("Cookie"), and that was such a big hit with her that we did it again only ten minutes later. The petting zoo was an even bigger hit. It was full of goats, and there were several young kid goats. One little black and white baby came right up to Ellie and wanted to snuggle with her, possibly because she was the only child in the petting zoo who wasn't trying to pick it up by the neck. She absolutely fell in love with it, and hugged and kissed it, while Mommy tried hard not to think about goat germs! She then proceeded to crack up all the staff of the petting zoo when she saw the back end of a nursing nanny goat with its udders hanging down, and announced loudly, "Mommy, that goat has a funny-looking bottom!"
