A conversation between a mother and a little son.

“Momma.  Momma.  Look what Daddy and I made.” – Little Boy

“Well, isn’t that interesting.  Wow, love all the bright colors.  Did you and Daddy work together?” – Mother

“Yeah.  I picked out the colors and told Daddy what to do.  Isn’t it cool?’ – Little Boy

“It sure is cool.” – Mother

“Do you know what animal it is?  Guess what it is?” – Little Boy

“Uh…well, is it a cat?” – Mother

“Keep guessing?  Just tell me what it is?” – Mother

“No.  Come on Momma.  Try to guess right.  You can do it.” – Little Boy

“Okay.  One last guess.  A beetle, a gazelle, a parrot, an elephant, a bumble bee, a dog or a seal?  That’s it I am done guessing.” – Mother

“All wrong.  I guess you will never know what the animal is.  Sorry Momma.” – Little Boy
