A little joke my son shared with me this morn

My son, Randy came downstairs this morning for school and says "hey dad how do you kill a blue elephant?"  Puzzled and confused by what I was just asked I replied " Hell, I don't know."  He answers with "you shoot him with your blue elephant gun" and then he runs back upstairs.  I smiled and nodded thinking "JUST GO AWAY I NEED TO REWRITE THIS GOD DAMN PAPER I LOST YESTERDAY."  As precious as he might be he came back down 10 minutes later and asks" hey dad how do kill a pink elephant?" I barked back at him "CAN"T YOU SEE I AM TRYING TO GET THIS FININSHED!"  That didn't detour him he asked again "how do you kill a pink elephant?" Completely frustrated I answered "you shoot him with a pink elephant gun."  "Nope"  he said "you hold his nose til he turns blue, then shoot him with your blue elephant gun."  I closed my laptop,smiled, laughed, and reaIized that the love and innocence of an 8 year boy was going to overpower anykind of frustration and determination I might have.  My paper can wait my son's youth cannot.
