6-12 Eva: An apology of sorts
Note - this photo contains a bit of a 'figurative language puzzle'. If you want to solve the puzzle and figure out the idiom, don't read the dogversation until you've had a try at it.
--------
Dave: Alright, Eva. What's going on here?
Eva: I thought I should own up to some of my past actions.
Dave: Really? You're going to own up to being a difficult puppy who terrorized the kids, my ankles, the furniture, and sweet old golden retriever Kael?
Eva: Nope. Can't address that because it never happened.
Dave: We may have to disagree a bit on that one.
Eva: Only if you refuse to change your memories.
Dave: If it's not being a general terror, what past actions are you owning up to?
Eva: Well, in my puppy years I did like to chew on the kid's toys. Some Playmobil mammals suffered horribly.
Dave: Agreed. But why does it say "incidents that may or may not have occurred"?
Eva: I gotta leave myself some wiggle room. Never accept full responsibility, that's my motto. Unless it's praise and cookies are being handed out. Then always accept full responsibility.
Dave: Makes sense. But, why did you only list the zebra, giraffe, and lion? You're leaving the elephant out.
Eva: I can't address her.
Dave: Really? You can't address the elephant in the room?
Eva: Yup. Can't do it. I don't know if that saying is an idiom or hard core rule. And you know me, I never ever break the rules.
---------
A bit of a long walk to get to this idiom of "being unable to address the elephant in the room".
I had this shot in mind for more than a year, but for some reason it kept getting pushed off. The Playmobil animals were by where I keep my camera, so I was ignoring them every time I went to do photos. I guess it was time for me to finally address the elephant in the room and do this photo.
This is also a continuation of my Playmobil and dogs photos.
