Being a mom is hard. Having kids is hard. I'm not actually sure it's any harder then not having kids. Just different. Life is hard. Sometimes though, the perks of being a mom can rock. Sometimes you get to ride elephants to school.
Demon: Mama, this our El-fant
Me: Ol-fant?
Demon: no Mama, El-fant.
Me: Oh, Elephant?
Demon: Yes Mama
Me: We're riding an Elephant?!
Demon: Yes Mama
Me: Awesome!
Demon: And we're cowboys
Me: Cowboys?
Demon: Yes
Me: Cowboys riding an elephant? Cool
Demon: And this [stuffed] squirrel, this my baby.
Me: a baby cowboy?
Demon: Yes Mama
Me: Awesome! It's not every baby cowboy who gets to ride an elephant to school
Demon: Yes! We cowboys riding an elephant to school! Elephants are fast
Me: Elephants sure are fast, they're big
Demon: and some are slow mama.
Me: Some elephants are slow?
Demon: No mama, SOME are slow.
Me: Oh, ok, only some are slow, not all.
Demon: Yes mama. Elephants stomp. Boom boom boom
Me: Yes they do stomp, they're BIG.
Demon: And these all elephants.
Me: We're all elephants?
Demon: No mama, all these around us. All the cars are other elephants
Me: Oh wow, that's a lot of elephants.
Demon: Yeeaaahhhhh
Me: We should feed our elephant when we get to school to thank him for taking us
Demon: *eyes sparkling* That's a good idea mama! We'll feed our elephant! They have long trunks they can use to eat.
Me: That's right, they use their trunks just like hands. We should feed them peanuts, elephants love peanuts.
Demon: I've got some peanuts right here, in my pocket. I'm going to feed them to the elephant
Me: Good idea! But not until we get there.
Demon: and there's a truck.
Me: There's a truck on out elephant?
Demon: NO mama, over there. Around us.
Me: Ohhhhh. So those other trucks, they're trucks.
Demon: Yes mama. and we're riding our elephant to school, and we're gonna feed it peanuts, and we have to hold our hands just like this. *flat* and the elephant will *snort* them right up with is trunk! Not every cowboy gets to ride an elephant to school.
That's right baby <3 not every cowboy gets to ride an elephant to school
