Had someone else challenged us with this picture, my submission would have been _Dumbo wanted a baby brother real bad, but with no other elephants in the circus, momma had to make do with what was available._

But @needscoffee said it better than I did, so that’s the winner. You’re up. @needscoffee !

Make me proud.

Wow, this is really a three-way tie. Also, as I’m typing this, my very annoying 🐱 is sitting next to me and reaching over with her claws 🙀 to turn my face in her direction.

All yours, @Spoons!
