A Moment in Elizabeth's Mind

Five year old Elizabeth was working on a craft making a prayer journal at church and she wrote some letters across the top: E V O L.

We had this conversation. 

Me: "Elizabeth, what did you write?

Elizabeth: "E V O L."

Me:  "Ummm....why?"

Elizabeth: "That's 'love' backwards."

Me: "You're right.  It is."

Elizabeth: "Do you know what an upside down L is?"

Me: "What?'

Elizabeth: "The number 7."

Me (thinking): "Yep, you're right."

Elizabeth: "Do you know what an upside down L is backwards?"

Me: "What?"

Elizabeth: "A lower case r."

Me: "Huh."

Elizabeth: "Do you know what an upside down elephant is, dad?"

Me: "No, what?"

Elizabeth: "No one knows, dad.  Elephants are HUGE.  You can't just turn them upside down.  It's a mystery."
