What a difference a day [or two of being dehydrated] makes
You know end of the Elmer story? the part where all the other elephants have decorated themselves in bright colours and Elmer has greyed himself?
P will always pause over that page to discus the relative merits of the different elephant style choices. Usually she'll ask me which I like. Not tonight.
P:I like this one and this one
Me: I like this one
P:No
Me:No?
P:You don't like any of them
Me: yes I do. I like this one because of the swirls
P: No. You don't like any of them
Me:Why?
P:You're too old.
Me: Too old for what?
P:Too old to be an elephant.
Wow.
I'm sleeping in a jar of Clarins tonight.

It's not you. It's them. Absolutely. Them.
About Me
- Name: dodo
- Location: London, United Kingdom
Recently reclaimed by PR industry after more recent background in lobbying and, before that, business journalism. From London and working part time in city but living in sticks. Trying not to pass on to my daughter all that my mother kindly left me. Raging against inevitability. Getting better at it. or not. NEED to rewrite this to say i'm not working at the moment and that there's all kinds of neds stuff going on, but to do that seems really official and final, so a postscript will have to do.

Clarins: the new anti-elephant creme.
Damn. At least you'll forget it soon.
You know...cause an elephant never forgets.
Never mind. That was an awful joke.
This sounds like a Charlie conversation!
Don't worry. When they say "old," they don't really mean old. They just mean, like, wise and big and stuff.
