The elephant war

William was given this elephant toy, covered in bold colors and fun patters, so I figured he would love it. Turns out, he didn't. In fact, he wanted absolutely nothing to do with it. After about a dozen times of putting it in front of him I had just about given up.
 One night while I was making dinner, I figured I would give it one more shot. I put it on the tray of his swing and he just stared at it. Lasting three or four minutes, with a completely bored look on his face.
 I told him to play with it, showed him his cool ears, and before I turned around he gave me a little smile.

All of a sudden I heard him yell, very surprising after five minutes of silence. I looked back to see the elephant face down, and William wearing a smile that could only say "I am the champion". He had to take it all of the way of course, so his next step was to knock it on the floor, which made him completely satisfied.
