Erk, I just re-read my post because I thought I had asked about giraffes and realised I had said it wrong. I'll try that again. Are there giraffes?
Oh yeah, I completely ignored your Georges thing. Yeah, there are giraffes
I didn't notice this post yesterday. Glad to hear there are giraffes, I always thought of myself as a fan of giraffes until I met Jen-she has a pet giraffe called George who is made of wood and is about 4 feet tall. She talks to him as though he were a real giraffe and he has his own personality and everything. Everyone who comes to the house knows George and if for some mad reason one of us were to say something in conversation about George, all of our friends would know who we were talking about.
Jen saw a programme ages ago about a woman who had a huge garden (I'm talking acres) and had a giraffe living in it, which came to the window and she fed it milk from a bottle. Now she wants us to get one. I think if we win the lottery, I will go out one day to buy something super cool and I'll come back and find a family of giraffes in the garden.
Our current aim is to find George a wife because he has decided that he has reached the stage in his life when he wants to settle down. The trouble is, Jen is very picky about Georges wife. She has seen a few pretty lady giraffes but they have been too small for him and all the ones we have seen of about his size haven't been good enough apparently. So if anyone sees a 3 foot plus giraffe anywhere if they could let me know I'd appreciate it. I would plan to get her one for Christmas but I have never seen one anywhere.
The relationship Jen has with George is what I imagine Mimi's relationship with Monkey to be like.
