Elefantie

Dear Julia, I love you. I love it when you're here. Do you know that? I also don't sleep. Did you know that? Hey! It's your alarm! Wake up! Wake up! Wake up! Here, let me trumpet at you. There you go! Up and at 'em! Wait where are you going! Don't leave me! Don't leave me! Oh...ok. Aaaand....I fell on the floor. You know, when you aren't here I can't get back up. That is the trouble with being a stuffed animal. You don't move much. But that is alright. Because I love you. And I can survive until you get back. Oh hey! It's Mom! What's she doing in our room? Ooooh you will be so steamed when you come home and know that she's been in here. Why is she picking up? You will just throw it back on the floor. It's so funny when you do that. And there she goes. Hummhumhum I hum to myself to pass the time. I can see the clock from here. Hey! It's three fifteen! You should come home now! Now! Ok now! Hey it's David! He's going through your bookshelf. You hate it when he does that. I would know. You tell me all kinds of things. I know all kinds of things. I will make up a story to tell you when you come home. Once upon a time there was a princess named Elefantie...that's me! It's four thirty. You should be home now. Elizabeth came by, that should excite you. You like it when she comes home. Five o'clock. I hear the door open...You're home! I love you I love you I love you I love you! Come tell me about your day! Ooh! Homework! What is it! Math! I know math! I can add! Let me help you! Wait! Where are you going now? What do you need food for?? I'm up here!! Ok fine. Leave. But don't expect me to talk to you when you come back. Ok now it's dark. I don't like dark. Where are you? Oh you're back! Time to go to bed! I love you I love you I love you I love you! Here I'm better than a pillow! Oooh your hair is soft. Good night! Sleep tight! Don't let the bed bugs bite!
