I was having a meeting with Navin outside in the garden when SarChan bounced out.
She placed the giraffe RIGHT NEXT to my head going, “He wants to be nearrrr you! He’s feeling neglected!”
I guess our notebooks and pens on the table weren’t enough to signify we were in the middle of discussion.
-_-

We ended up arguing what the two long knobs atop the giraffe’s head which were most definitely not his ears.
What’s that? asked SarChan.
Er, horns? i answered without thinking how stupid that sounded cos i know giraffes don’t have horns!!
It could be his ears… spoke up Navin.
His ears are here la! shouted SarChan, pointing at his ears.
Eeyer, then what’s that? ew-ed Navin. So ugly, he said.
Shh! You’ll hurt his feelings! SarChan clamped her hands over the giraffe’s ears.

After work the topic came up again on what those funny knobs were and we googled it.
I think it’s antlers maybe… i said while clicking on the mac.

Turns out…

They’re not horns.
They’re not antlers.

They’re “two hairy, fleshy lumps.”

Ew. Poor giraffe. We be loving you anyway.
