55. you are reading the fairy tales at bedtime and they point out that no goat, no matter how gruff, could take on a troll.

-Accepts your explanation that it was an awakened, Barbarian Dire Goat as a suitable explanation, but only after you run through the various bonuses and magic items

-Then calls you a munchkin.

And on a related note:

-When watching The Wizard of Oz, can never work out why an entire village of halfling Munchkins need a commoner and a farm house to handle one measly witch.
