about the elephant

(a night time conversation between Daddy and Bonzo)

I have an elephant. My elephant's gonna keep growing bigger and he's going to grow up and be a big elephant, bigger than me.

(Daddy: Bigger than me?)

Yeah. He's going to be bigger than you, and we'll use him every day, and he's going to be real.

And every night I ask my elephant if he wants a blanket, and he always wants a blanket. (Pats the blanket.) Don't touch my elephant.
