Ivory

I think it's growing more apparent, that I spend my life in the car:
Daughter: "Mommy, what do elephants do to you?"
Me: "If you leave them alone, nothing"
Daughter: "What about their big giant teeth?"
Me: "Those are tusks, kind of like a horn, and they can hurt you if you bug an elephant."
Daughter: "What are inside tusks, mommy?"
Me: "It's something called ivory."
Daughter: "What's Ivory?"
Me: "It's a hard sub......"
Husband: "It's soap."
Me: "................"
Daughter: "Soap for a bath?"
Me: "Well....... Jessica Simpson...... I understand you don't eat buffalo wings because you don't eat buffalo.... hahahaha but you really can't think that Ivory Soap comes from elephants."
Daughter: "What do you do with Ivory?"
Me: "It's a hard substance that is used to make things like piano keys, and little knick knacks and stuff."
Disclaimer: To be fair, I was staring at the back of my husbands head, so it was hard to tell if he was joking or not.

I am sure that the man was laughing. But maybe I am just defending all husbands out there who don't take explanations of the virtual extinction of any animal too seriously.
Thanks for being fair.
