A neighbors goat recently got loose and wandered into my mothers yard and ate a good portion of her tulip tree before she saw it and chased it away. I think this is hilarious and I told Mom to just let it go and I would buy her another tulip tree, but she is furious and wants to confront the neighbor and demand that he buys her another tree. What do you think Mom should do?
You are right this is hilarious, Mom should let it go. Don't sweat the small stuff.
