While at the zoo on a beautiful Sunday morning little Johnny observes the elephants and asks his mom a few questions,

"Mom, what is that hanging down from the elephant?"
"Johnny that's his trunk, you know, he eats with it and makes sounds with it".
"No Mom, not the trunk, I know what the trunk is, the other thing near his butt."
"Oh, that's his tail, you know, he brushes flys away with it".
"No Mom, not the tail, I know what the tail does, the other thing hanging down".
"That's nothing Johnny, nothing!"

Johnny's Dad returns after picking up a few things at the snack bar.

"Dad?
"Yes Johnny."
"Dad, what is that hanging down from the elephant?"
"Johnny that's his trunk, you know, he eats with it and makes sounds with it".
"No Dad, not the trunk, I know what the trunk is, the other thing near his butt."
"Oh, that's his tail, you know, he brushes flys away with it".
"No Dad, not the tail, I know what the tail does, the other thing hanging down".
"Oh.......that.
"Mom says that's nothing!"

"Well,......... that's because your mother's spoiled Johnny!"
