the plight of giraffes
According to Elena
E: Did you know there are some people who take guns and kill giraffes? They kill them for their meat!
A: really? where did you learn that?
E: somebody told me - I don't remember. But the giraffes don't like it! you know, animals have feelings just like us. They have meat and blood and bones. And they want to keep them all together. Just like me - I keep my bones and blood and meat together.

an oldie
During the house remodel, Dad hired a guy to trim trees. Short, mexican, baseball cap. When elena saw him, she yelled "oh my God! Why is Handy Manny cutting my trees???" Then when she met the man at lunch, she kept talking to him "oh, and handy manny blah blah blah"...he is totally oblivious and says "que linda la nina, miren como me habla!" Elena completed the cuteness by asking "can I please meet the tools?"

Parsley
In order to decorate for Halloween, I purchased some LED candles that change colors. Elena is fascinated by them and Mom and I noticed her blowing at the candles. She explained that she has "magical breath" and when she blows on the candles, they change colors. I asked her why her breath was magical and she answered "because I ate parsley".

In a word - Elena
Two short stories...
1. I told Elena to "get your tail in the car now!"...she immediately got agitated and said desperately, "but I really don't have a tail!!!!".
2. for my birthday, one of my gifts from Elena was a beauty-queen style sash that reads "World's Greatest Mom". Once I put it on, Elena comes up and says "look mama, it says 'I love you Mama'" all while running her fingers over the letters as if she's reading. all together now - awwwwww
