Adopting?

We went out to the goat farm to hopefully find 2 more goats today. We didn't find 2 more but there was a brand new baby that was about 3 days old. He quickly became my favorite and I asked the vet that is helping us if he could find the mom to that one b/c I definitely wanted to give that one to a family so that I could play with the baby when I went to visit them.

Later on when the farm owner showed up the vet relayed to him that I really loved this little baby and that I wanted one. The owner called over one of the workers and sent him in to catch it. Next thing I know I have a baby goat in my arms and, apparently, am taking it home!!! The mom died so it's an orphan and needs a new mom. Since I liked it so much he thought I'd make the perfect new mom...as if I have somewhere to keep it or enough time to spend hours bottle feeding it!!!

It took a while to convince them that, even though I really liked the baby and technically I did say that I wanted him, I totally meant theoretically and do not actually want it. I guess that didn't translate...even though I said it in Arabic...As we were getting into the car to leave they said I could take it next time I come!!
