Jonah and the whale

[velvetpage]

Elizabeth came in from Sunday School just now with a paper plate whale. (A triangle was cut out of it and attached to the other end for a tail, leaving the rest as the body.) There was a man drawn in the middle of the plate, looking rather like Humpty Dumpty in Sesame Street skits.

Me: Who's that in the middle?
Elizabeth: That's Jonah! (pointing) There's the man, there's the man, and there's his legs. (In a confiding tone) He has a wedgie.

I think perhaps Elizabeth's tights are too tight.

Why? Is wedgied-Jonah not canonical?

It was the way one hand went to the seat of her tights that gave it away, actually. :)
