Flying Elephants

Ellie has decided that she wants to be Dumbo for Halloween. And guess why? She thinks then she will be able to fly!

Sheesh, that elephant is insane. I tried to tell her that her butt is too big, and her ears are too small to fly with. And what did she do with my logical reasoning ability? She threw me into the swimming pool.

"See, even you can fly," said my little sister Amy.

How do I put up with that crazy elephant living in my back yard? If I had one nerve left in my entire body, she would manage to stomp on it.

Ellie thinks she should be flying a hover board.  I mean, seriously, how does an elephant expect to fly? Her butt is way too big to ever get off the ground. Watch this video and see what I mean.

Sheesh, some animals can be wild in their thinking.

Like right now, she has me helping her to be Santa. And yes, I know that The Claus guy is a myth. But she doesn't. When Matt tried to tell Ellie that Santa is not real, he was nearly drowned to death. 

Just thinking of what I am going through with that elephant living in my backyard has got me all upset and wired. I'd better go eat some deep-fried marshmallows dipped in syrup so that I feel better. Nothing like severe junk food to keep my spirit healthy.

Sincerely, Scout

Watching baby elephants while eating peanuts is more fun for Ellie than doing cannonballs into our pool. I'm serious! That elephant has not been swimming once since she discovered this video. Sheesh, you'd think splashing, muddy babies werecute or something:

Ellie has spent the entire morning watching how things look being blown up SLOWLY! That elephant is so weird. Sheesh, I mean, it is cool to watch, but doesn't she have anything else to do. Here is the video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=E2a3MhdsdMU
