One of Adam’s favorite games right now is for someone to pretend to turn him in to different animals. It’s pretty simple, you take a pen, hair brush, french fry – whatever you have handy to act as a magic wand – and say, “Poof, you’re a monkey/frog/cat/etc.” Then Adam will respond by making the sounds commonly associated with that animal.

This is repeated until the little dude demands to be turned back in to Adam. He always answers, “Poof, you’re Adam”, with “That’s better.”

Recently while playing the game Dave decided to try and trick Adam by saying, “Poof, you’re a giraffe.” Adam stopped mid-ribbit and looked up at Dave with a confused look on his face. Dave, thinking he had bested Adam, asked, “What does a giraffe say?”

Adam thought about it for a second, then stood up on the tips of his toes, stretched out his neck as far as he could, and said, “I have a long neck!”

I am pretty sure Adam won that round.
