Martha shares a childhood misunderstanding sent in by a listener. Seems her three-year-old daughter confused the phrase “exposed to the elements” with “exposed to the elephants.” This is part of a complete episode.
Transcript of “Exposed to the Elephants”
A while back we were talking on the show about childhood misunderstandings.
And we got a great email from Kristen Murray Todd, who writes us from Colorado to tell us about her daughter Katie.
When Katie was three years old, she and Kristen’s mom had gone to the park and Katie had gotten wet playing in the fountain.
And then when they got back to the car, her mom asked Katie to change into dry clothes while standing by the car.
And Katie replied, I can’t do that. I’ll be exposed to the elephants.
I mean, can you imagine what this poor kid was thinking? A little stampede if she takes off. She’ll be exposed to the elephants.
She was just being thoughtful and, you know, thinking ahead.
Oh, I love that stuff. Childhood misunderstandings.
