As my mother was passing out gifts to her grandchildren from her Africa trip I witnessed this exchange.
Ian: Did you take any pictures of an elephant’s butt?
My Mom: Yes!
And it was true.

Doesn’t everyone want a picture of an elephant’s butt?

That is SO funny. I nearly fell out of my chair.

BTW, I’d have totally taken a picture of an elephant butt…I’d rather take a picture of it walking away than charging me.

It runs in my family too! I saw an entry on your blog from 2008 re: cowboy cats t-shirts with their butts on the back. I have been looking EVERYWHERE for this shirt!! I desperately need it for a gag. Where did you get the shirt? As I said, it runs in my family too….Thanks for your help!! juicy3436@comcast.net

Knowing your mother, I believe it. However, I demand proof.

Mine were hoping Mimi would bring them back a beer stein from Germany. Because all 7 year olds and 4 year olds need their very own beer stein’s right? She did not, but she was kind enough to bring mommy a whole crap load of German chocolate. Okay, it was for the kids, but you know, their teeth. It’s bad for their teeth:) Love your blog, saw you on Amalah’s site, will be back soon!

When I was a kid, I had a poster in my room of a Mama elephant and a baby elephant from behind. Elephant butts are cute? Maybe I’m just weird?
Hugs!!
