Lilly Stunned, Jacob's Quest

LILLY 7 y.o.

Lilly was all bent over, picking up her toy, when she gave me a sideways glance with a very stunned look on her face. 

"I didn't mean to do that!"

 My very embarrassed grand-girl tooted.

JACOB 4 y.o.

Jacob came to me asking, "Where's that guy has all the animals?"

Not knowing who he's talking about, and since I was babysitting and none of his parents were here to elucidate, I said, "I don't know, can you tell me what he looks like?"

Jacob was experessing himself with his hands making patterns in the air with a sort of balling, wringing hands-like motions, "He has a hole in the back."

We, Jeani who was visiting and I, were thinking of the holey t-shirts the guys wear working, when he continues, "Big black tires.  He belongs to the zoo."

I asked him, "Was he in the house, outside, or at your house, where was he?

He insists he was here.

Racking my brain, looking to Jeani for ideas, I shrugged my shoulders, "I really don't know, Jacob, I'm sorry."

He goes off to play when a few minutes later he winningly says, "I found him!"

REALLY?

And he brings to us a boxcar type toy truck with zebra striped cab, whose back door is missing, and all along the sides were animal holes for sorting shapes!!!!!!

And here we were thinking of an intruding male zoo keeper!
