On today's drive home my 4 yo asked, "Why do long-necks only eat long-necks?"

"What's a long-neck?  Is it a kind of animal?"

"I don't know?"

"Hmmm. I'm sorry, I don't know what your question means."

"I don't either," he replied in a melancholy voice.

17 yo took her head out of the novel Buddenbrooks, "There's long-neck in Buddenbrooks: Miss Langhals."

Silence.

We turned the corner and saw a real life long-neck.  The touted but seldom seen Tennessee Giraffe.


But what does it eat?
