Jade: “Pollyanna is my favorite.”
Indigo: “Why?”
Jade: “Because she’s so SNUGGLY.”

An original joke from Fletcher:
One goat says to another goat, “Hey, why were you screaming and calling for help earlier?”
The other goat replies, “Oh, I was just kidding.”

Greyden: “You can’t just create a toy amphibious assault vehicle. Oh wait, I can.”

Emery (after being awake delivering baby goats most of the night): “It feels like my eyelids have been weightlifting.”

Indigo: “You could say almost all of football is unnecessary roughness.”

Jade: “The last person to the table is a rotten egg! And a rotten pumpkin!”

Indigo: “I’m not feeding the boy. Baby boy goats pee on you.”

Jade: “I love holding baby goats!”
Five minutes later…
Jade: “HE PEED ON ME.”

Jim (to Brett): “Learning from other people’s mistakes has always been your superpower. You should just surround yourself with stupid people.”

Jade: “Baby goats are just so FUZZY.”

Brett (pointing to Emery): “You know where they learned that bad habit, right?”
Greyden: “Whoa, don’t give him all the credit! I taught them that too!”

Jim: “PJ, did you see what your daughter just did? She just licked the bottom of her pie so no one else would want to eat it.”
Indigo: *giggles guiltily*

Fletcher: “Guess what? I weigh one hundred and ten pounds. Or as Jade says, ‘eleven zero’.”

Brett: “The best shift in the barn is the nine to midnight – all I have to do is stay up late and I get to sleep in a bit.”
Colter: “I like the three to six morning shift – I just get up a little earlier.”
Emery: “There’s nothing good about the midnight to three shift. Anyone wanna switch?”

(During kidding season, we do 24 hour shifts in the barn, so we’re there for all the births. It’s tiring but also lots of fun! And the kids who do the midnight to three shift rotate, so no one gets too tired.)

Brett: “I blame my mom for my impossibly high perfectly roasted marshmallow standards.”
