Baby animals tend to be adorable. Watching them fall over stuff is pretty entertaining as well. Disney devoted a not-unsubstantial amount of time to a baby deer falling on ice. Similar situation here, I would imagine. Was there ice in the cooler?
I actually have no idea what was in the cooler. It wasn't relevant at the time.
What's important is that I had occasion to be on something of a farm not long ago. It was a nice day, and...well...there were reasons to be on or near a farm. Upon arriving at the farm, one very important thing became entirely clear. This articular farm had baby goats! Here's one of them:
The baby goat, we were told, were only a few weeks old, so they were adorably tiny, as you can plainly see.
What you may not be able to ascertain from the picture is that they were also adorably clumsy. Having just recently figured out feet, the goats were able to walk and scamper around, but were not at entirely full capacity in the movement department. One of them decided to jump over a small cooler that was on the ground for reasons that only a baby goat would understand.
The baby goat failed at this rather miserably.
See, baby goat hooves don't get a lot of traction on cooler plastic, so the goat was never quite able to find purchase on top of the cooler, so his (or her, I really don't know) feet went all out from under him and he ended up sliding off the end of the cooler to faceplant on the ground.
Fortunately for everyone, the baby goat was none the worse for the wear, and he got right back to his feet and scampered off to do other baby goat things. Also fortunately for me, I got to watch the whole thing and get a little laugh out of the poor baby goat whose pride was the only thing hurt before he got scooped up and put in his little baby goat pen. That's where I got the picture, but he wasn't signing autographs because...you know...he's a goat.
