“You know,” I began. My brother doesn’t know anything, so it was a rhetorical statement. “If you cross a giraffe with an elephant, the result will just be a scaly grey giraffe. They have the same tail.”
“But it has to have a trunk!” he exclaimed.
“If you give it a trunk it will topple forward. I won’t be able to get from tree to tree in order to eat.”
“It doesn’t need to eat! It’s just a picture!!”
He had a point. I handed him my grey crayon and let him get on with it. But I couldn’t watch.
Author’s Notes:
1. I don’t suppose this character is “zany” as much as childish, but this is what I ended up with and I’m sticking to it.
2. I think I only ended up with one or two “adult content” posts. None were particularly naughty. Ah, well. It’s been fun doing this challenge with characters. Thanks for reading.

This sounds like an argument my kids would have. 🙂
Haha! Yeah, eh?
I never noticed that elephants and giraffes have the same tail…
They do! …don’t they? I didn’t actually compare. 😛 But it’s gotta be close!
