Abby's elephant |
Over time I've carefully explained that there are elephants wandering about in the woods, down by the beach, hiding in the trees and just generally elephanting around. Yesterday was a milestone in elephant understanding as dear Abby,one of the four, this sweetest thing on God's earth, asked me if I've seen any elephants lately.
I told her, of course, that just the other day there was one down by the shore. It was coloring on your pad - the one we keep here for your drawings.....she pondered this for a bit as well she should and then announced it must have looked a lot like the one she saw in her yard while she was waiting for the school bus.
My life's work is complete.
