Save the Elephants.....

Random heading....I know.  

Alyssa stories.  Classic Alyssa!

Alyssa came home the other day and the phone rang.  It was my friend/neighbor Becky.  "Hi Jenn, can Alyssa come down and tell  me who she sold subs to.  I don't know who half these people are on this list...."
I didn't even know Alyssa sold subs.  Apparently she went door to door the other day and sold the neighborhood a lot of subs....:)

The same day I am going through her backpack and I find all these books on elephants.  I ask "Alyssa why do have five books on elephants?  You have never brought home books on elephants."  
She then goes on with this explanation.......

"My friend Jada and I....."  I just knew it was going to be good if Jada was involved (ie. another planner)
"My friend Jada and I have decided to start a foundation.  A foundation for elephants.  Did you know Mom, that they are endangered.  For every elephant being born 200 are dead or killed.  I am not sure if this fact is right....but...you get the drift.  She then rattles off 10 other facts about elephants I frankly had no idea about.  She continued the story with "we set up a meeting with the principle to come up with a plan to start this foundation.  We want to get the school involved.   Mom.....we are serious."  

Oh boy!  That night I ran to the store and when I got home I found 30 pictures of elephants on my phone she was sending to Jada's Mom's phone.  Hmmmmm.....

Alyssa, Alyssa.......the stories we have on her......
