Sunday Photo Fiction — Elephant Parts

30BFEB94-6B92-4B36-96B7-8967FAD22681Brian could hear his son, Billy, laughing hysterically, but when he looked around the natural history museum floor, he didn’t see Billy.

“Billy?” Brian called out.

“Over here, Dad,” Billy answered. “Behind the elephants.”

“Are you okay, son?” Brian asked when he got to Billy’s side. “What were you laughing at?

Billy started laughing hard again. When he finally could control himself, he pointed up to the large elephant and started laughing again.

“Shh, Billy,” Brian said. “We’re in a museum.”

    Well I found it amusing but not funny. Kids sure laugh a lot and they are rather annoying.
