her computer and we video-chatted with Babu while we had breakfast Babu was very excited because one of the elephants Eliza had just had a baby Her name was Halley Look how big Halley is getting Babu said holding up a picture of her She's so energetic and cute I'm having a lot of fun getting to know her Babu set down his phone and grinned at us Remember how I asked if you knew how long elephants sleep Yes I said Connor and I took out a bunch of books on animals from the library to find out Did you know that birds use feathers to line their nests to help keep themselves warm I didn't know that said Babu Elephants living in the wild sleep about two hours a night said Connor 5
And they usually sleep standing up or leaning against trees I added Babu clapped You two really cut the mustard I was confused There's no mustard in migas Babu but there is salsa The grown-ups laughed I didn't want them to feel bad so I laughed too even though I didn't understand the joke I'm so glad everything's going well with the herd said Halmoni 6
Babu nodded It's a lot of work to raise a baby And even more work when there's two Mom said smiling at us Especially when they're named Lark and Connor Dad said and the grown-ups laughed I laughed too because I know how much work Connor can be After breakfast we said goodbye to Babu We all cleaned up and then Mom and Dad went to work Well little ones said Halmoni Shall we head to the park then the show rang Before we could answer Halmoni's phone Just a moment she said to us She picked up the phone June How are you Halmoni's smile crumpled What That's terrible Uh-oh I didn't like the look on Halmoni's face Nope nope nope 7
