Elephants: A birthday conversation:

Bob: You know what I'm going to get you for your birthday Mama?
Mama: What, Sweetie?
Bob: A *new* elephant.
Mama: A new elephant?
Bob: Yes, because your elephant broke.
Mama: Oh, I'd *love* a new elephant!
Bob: It's a stuffed animal elephant.
Mama: Oh! I thought you meant a real elephant!
Bob: Mama! A real elephant won't fit in our house!
Mama: Yeah, you're probably right.
Bob: (looks around) Actually it would fit in here. This room is big. But it's a baby elephant.
Mama: Oh I love baby elephants.
Bob: It's a tiny stuffed elephant, but it will change into a real elephant. I tiny elephant, this big. (motions about the size of a loaf of bread)
