Aidans Little Guy

Ok so the pictures are few a far between but the stories still arise on a daily basis. Granny gave Aidan a little stuffed elephant to play with which he promptly named, "elephant". He played with it the whole time we were there and Granny told him he could take it home with him. So....I am half way to Richmond when I look in the rear view mirror and notice that Aidan is crying. I asked him what was wrong and he replied, " I miss elephant, I left it at Grannys. Please go back and get it." I am thinking NO WAY AM I TURNING AROUND. So I told him that Granny would take good care of him and we would get it next time we visit. Well as I am driving I can hear Aidan in the back seat mumbling, " My poor little guy. The poor little guy." So I reluctantly asked him again why he was so worried about the elephant. His reply, " The little guy thinks I am his daddy and Granny's leg is broke, she can't take care of him !!! " Why didn't anyone warn me that these kids were way smarter than we could ever imagine? He makes me laugh every day.
