A couple took their young son

A couple took their young son to the circus and when the elephants appeared, the boy seemed very intrigued by them.

“Mommy, what’s that long thing on the elephant?” he asked.

“That’s the elephant’s trunk, dear,” she replied.

“No, not that. What’s that long thing that’s hanging between the elephant’s legs?” asked the boy.

Embarrassed, the mother replied, “Oh, it’s nothing, son.” She then left to get some hot dogs and sodas.

While she was gone, the young boy turned to his father and asked, “Daddy, what’s that long thing hanging between the elephant’s legs?”

“That’s the elephant’s tool, son,” explained the father.

“Well, why did mommy say it was nothing when I asked her?” the boy asked.

Taking a deep breath, the father proudly replied, “I’ve spoiled that woman, son!”
