Mama elephant put her foot down and it was HEAVY
Today Ellie and Toby had chicken nuggets in the shape of elephants, giraffes and rhinos (oh, the gimmicks we go for…). I caught a part of the conversation going on between the elephants before they had their heads cruelly ripped from their bodies and were eaten without remorse: Ellie: (holding her chicken-elephant) Hi! I’m your baby. (directing Toby) Now you get an elephant and make it talk. Toby: (grabbing one) Hi. Ellie: Are you my daddy elephant? Toby: (making his elephant bounce as it ‘talks’) Well…I could be but I already have a bunch of kids at home and that other elephant at home says we have too many already…. Ellie: (shaking her elephant in the air) Oh! Well…..Help me! Ellie’s going to eat me…. (and then she does) —
What do we learn from this? Well, several things. Apparently, 1) when you have a lot of kids at home, it’s better not to bring anymore back with you. You just don’t know what ‘the other elephant’ will do, and 2) when you’ve been rejected, it’s better to just get eaten.
