The real question is not necessarily what’s this doing in my house because we do have children and children have stuffed animals. The real question probably isn’t even what’s this doing in my bedroom either since both TW and I have stuffed animals in here that belong to us. The question is a combination of the two with emphasis on "this"… What is THIS doing in my house? It’s here because my darn daughter has not managed to get pregnant yet. I can’t really complain much since up until a few months ago I’d have had a fit if she’d called to tell me she was pregnant. And almost immediately after I’d given my blessing, the sperm donor headed off to Baghdad or wherever it is he’s playing with guns in the heat for the president.
OK so the elephant is not directly related to pregnancy except that TW and I saw him at Walmart in December of 2004 and I did not buy him. I almost immeidately felt regret but when we next went to Walmart, it was gone. A year goes by and Michelle and I did our mommy and me Christmas shopping trip and there it was at Walmart. I bought it. And I’ve pretty much regretted it ever since because the thing is big. And it takes up a lot of room. And it looks at you with those weird eyes. And it’s a reminder that I’m still not a grandmother nor likely to be one soon and that stinks because then I start thinking I should just have my own baby and forget about grandchildren. And that idea also stinks. So, what IS this elephant doing in my house????
Looks like I’m first this week – where is Lee? Why aren’t you blogging about weird stuff that is in your house?
