This weekend Husband and I took Critter and the two neighbor girls to a birds of prey demonstration. After the demonstration, we all trooped into the gift shop so the girls could spend their 10 bucks on eagle paraphernalia. While looking at the different ecologically friendly wares, I spied a cute little blue notebook. Upon closer inspection, I realized the notebook was created entirely from recycled elephant poop.
"Oh, my goodness!" I squealed, grabbing up a handful of the journals. "It's POOP!" I waved the books in my husband's direction, while the woman beside me began to back away nonchalantly.
"Awesome!" A boy about 7 or 8 years old materialized beside me. He reached out and took one of the notebooks, which bore the emblem of an elephant, along with the tagline "We're number one at number two."
"Wow" he breathed, staring up at me in wonder. "I didn't know elephants pooped notebooks!"

(For those who know me, or have simply seen me across a crowded room, and therefore are privy to my love of all things elephant, it should not surprise you that I stocked up on my new favorite form of elephant items.)
I shall expect one for Christmas. Much better than the tacky chocolate covered peanut "reindeer poop"....
ReplyDeleteI'm coming over from Blog Stalkers Unite, asking for your help. I am in the running for a round trip airfare paid ticket to Connecticut, to meet a friend I became acquainted with through blogging. She is a super fun person and is holding this contest. I entered a funny story titled "Grapejuice Floaties, Now Marry Me." The person whose story receives the most votes will win a trip to meet this generous lady, whom I'm hoping to meet. The voting ends tomorrow I believe. I am ahead for now but there is a story coming up from behind out of nowhere and I would so, so, appreciate your help. Her blog is www.becausemomsaidso.blogspot.com and the voting is on the sidebar on the right. "Grapejuice, Floaties" Just go there and cast a vote for me, please. Thanks so much-you're awesome! ♥
