As we were driving through our suburban neighborhood, we passed by one piece of property upon which lives an old grey mare.
Claire: "Hey look! A horse!! Wow...that family is so lucky they have a horse. Having a horse in your yard is so cool."
Audrey: "A horse? Where's a horse Claire?"
Claire: "It's gone now Audrey. You missed it."
Mom: "Y'know, Aunt Julie has two horses right on her property. Isn't that neat?"
Claire: "I know, you told me another time Mom."
Audrey: "And she has a cow and a giraffe, too!"
Claire: "Audrey she--" But then she stopped herself. She had turned to Audrey to argue the point (which happens quite frequently and ends up in A Scream Fest), but then saw the solid belief on Audrey's face. There was no reasoning or outwitting Audrey on this one, and she could see it curled up in the corners of Audrey's smile.
I just hope Aunt Julie knows what to feed a giraffe.

yeah, I thought she had a giraffe, too! It's much taller than her
5th wheel.

Audrey, I had to have a saddle specially made just for the giraffe! At least he is easy to catch by throwing a rope around his long neck.
Oh, and giraffes are easy to feed. They are quite fond of pizza, cabbage, and banana splits.
