Where's Eli's Tail?

A "tale" from Eli's Grandma Amanda:
Yesterday, Eli was petting our cat, Angel (and she was holding still and letting him!). While he petted Angel, Eli pointed to various cat-body parts and I named them – then Eli repeated each name (i.e. foot, head, ears, leg, tail, etc.). After several minutes of this, Angel decided she had enough and left, so I asked Eli to point out his various body parts (i.e. foot, head, ears, etc.). When I asked Eli where his ‘tail’ was he got a surprised look on his face, reached his right hand around and touched his butt, and then tried to twist around and look at his own bottom! It was so cute!

Then, we established that Eli doesn’t have a tail, Grandma doesn’t have a tail, Grandpa doesn’t have a tail – only Angel has a tail!

Very cute story, thanks Mom! And thanks again for taking care of Eli!
