Visiting the Zoo

A family is visiting the zoo.

While they’re watching the elephants, the little boy points and asks his mother, “Mom, what’s that hanging down underneath the elephant?”

“That’s his trunk,” she replies.

“No,” says the boy, “at the other end.”

“Oh, that’s his tail,” she says.

“No, no, the thing underneath!” the boy insists.

Realizing what he means, the mother blushes and says, “Oh, never mind that. That’s nothing.”

Confused, the boy turns to his father.

“Dad, what is that thing underneath the elephant? Mom said it’s nothing.”

The father looks at the elephant, then at his son, and says, “Well, son, your mother is just spoiled.”
