Your children are clearly too young to truly appreciate a good cow painting. That, or they have been spared the scourge of hipster-dom which would render the cow acceptable, but only with a huge dollop of irony all over it. I would absolutely love to hang it on my wall, personally!

I love that your son thought of you when he saw the goats, and that you thought of me! That's what my goats do all day: eat the stuff nobody wants around.

There is such a thing as a bad cliche, but sometimes things attain that status for a reason, and we can sit back and accept them without guilt or shame. And absolutely keep the rocking chair! Especially if it's haunted.
