See what a week with Cousin Eli will do to you?

During Sunday lunch, Joy began playing a game with Sam that has only recently begun to amuse him. She looked at him and asked, "are you an elephant?"

Sam, looking dubious, replied in his best, lilting little-boy voice, "Noooooo."

"Are you a turkey?"

"Noooo."

You can image how long this exchange went on. Throughout it all, Sam kept giggling until, finally, Joy asked him, "Then what are you?"

Sam peered up at her, a smile stealing across his face, and declared, "I'm a silly goose in a caboose!"
