The young couple invited their elderly minister for Sunday dinner.
While the parents were in the kitchen preparing the meal, the minister asked their son what they were having to eat.
“Goat,” the little boy said.
“Goat?” replied the startled parson, “are you sure about that?”
“Yep,” said the boy. “I heard Pop say to Mama, ‘might as well have the old goat for dinner today as any other day.’”
