My 8 year old heart wanted an elephant.  It still does.  And still might be 8 years old.
The elephant?  It grew along with you?
hm I wonder if the elephant is still 8 years old, or whether it’s… <doing math>  Oh, this is embarrassing.  I'm trying to figure out how old an 8 year old elephant when I was 8 years old would be today.  And then I realized, after trying to do some math, it would be my age.  And then I still didn't know how old that was.
