They want to be "House-Goats"

So Honorable Son No.1 has a milk goat, and the Wife has the two kids.  Well, the Wife enjoys the goats grazing the yard in the evenings(goats eat the weeds)and the goats also play with the children after dinner(socialization).  So, she would let them out of the goat-pen and into the yard just before dinner and have the children put them back into the barnyard just before baths.  The children had gotten a little lazy, and casually forgotten to put the goats into the barnyard a couple of evenings...which turned into a week.  The goats, being goats, found unique places to bed down for the night.  The Kubota RTV, on top the pallets by the feed bins, and finally the deck on the house.  On the deck they could look into the house through the windows in the dining room and the patio door in the living room.  They saw all the fun the people were having and the food on the table...they made a decision...they wanted to be "house-goats".  The goats, now when they were out in the yard, began haunting the back door...that is how people got in and out.  They felt they should be allowed in and out of the house as well.  The Wife didn't think that "house-goats" were a good idea...though all the children voted to let them in, Dear Farmer used his veto-power and sided with the Wife(smart Farmer).  The goats are now being penned in the evenings and bed down back in the barnyard.  However, when let out, they still believe that they should be allowed in the house.
