Lions And Tigers And Donkeys, Oh My

(Our Santa’s Grotto opened at the beginning of November and as such we have very few visitors to start with. One day we decide to play I-spy to kill time.)

Elf #1: “I spy with my little eye something beginning with ‘H.'”

Elf #2: “Hat?”

Elf #1: “No.”

Me: “Holly?”

Elf #1: “No.”

(This goes on for several minutes with no success.)

Elf #1: “Oh, my God, guys, you were looking right at it. It’s that horse!”

(She points to the model of a donkey.)

Me: “That’s a donkey!”

Elf #1: “Yeah? Donkeys are baby horses.”

Me: “…”

(The next day Elf #1 is talking about when she was in a show of The Lion King.)

Elf #1: “We couldn’t find lion onesies to use so we wore tiger ones instead.”

Elf #2: “How would that work?”

Elf #1: “Because tigers are female lions. Duh?”
