A couple take their young son to the circus. When his father goes to buy
popcorn, the boy asks, "Mom, what's that long thing on the elephant"?
"That's the elephant's trunk,dear," she replies. "No, Mom. Down
underneath".
The mother blushes and says, "Oh, that. That's nothing".
The boy's father returns, and his mother goes off to get a soda. As soon
as
she leaves, the boy repeats his question. "That's the elephant's trunk,
son", his father answers. "Dad,I know what a trunk is. What's the thing
down
there"? His father looks and says, "Oh, that's the elephant's penis".
"Dad,"
the boy says, "how come when I asked Mom, she said it was nothing"? His
father sighs and cracks a little smile, "Son,I've spoiled that woman."
