*Elephant in the room*

Chewbacca

Well, you made a dog's breakfast of that MissAdventure!

I guess you can’t make a silk purse out of a sow’s ear.

Indian Elephants. Tick
African Elephants. Tick

Chinese Elephants ?

I collect items in an elephant design, i. e tables, chairs, candlesticks etc so it's a bit difficult not to have an elephant in the room.
I thought that "having an elephant in the room" meant something that was blatantly obvious but was never actually spoken of. Not actually secret.

I used to have a big china elephant with a space on it's back for a plant.
The family always took the micky out of it, though.
I gave it to a charity shop, but I shouldn't have listened to others.

My mum would never have those wooden elephant ornaments in the house- said they were unlucky- said same about peacock feathers too…so no elephants or peacocks in our room…

Oh dear.
Fingers, eyes, all failing.

They went away with a flea in their ear, *SueDomin"

AreWeThereYet, I had the expensive (ugly) unwanted gift on display problem too. One day, I dropped it (from a great height - involving a ladder) - and blamed the cat. Guilty? Nope!

My apologies if this is obvious to others, but what does it (whatever IT is) have to do with Everyday Ageism?

I've let a cat out of a bag, before.
It was an elephant in the room until then.

And did the worm turn?

Elephants, skeletons, orgasms..

30 years of keeping an elephant in the room!

This is not healthy and shouldn’t be encouraged.

The answer, surely, is the stop feeding it.

(though this may lead to a very large skeleton in the cupboard).

I suspect you have been ‘faking it’ all these years ….orgasm, I mean ?

I have a white elephant in the room. A very expensive, unwanted gift from someone who should have known better. Possibly it was revenge for something we bought her. I haven't been able to ditch it yet, but maybe this year we will find someone who likes it.

We have a wooden and brass Kiwi- shall we swap?

awwwwww,,my god, my Elephant in the room has just Trumped...phewwwwww " open the windows everyone"

Love it!!

Did acknowledging the elephant and bringing it out into the open help you Serendipity? I don’t want to know what your elephant is, just wether you found mentioning it a positive or a negative experience.

I'm glad I haven't got an elephant in the room. That damned cat makes a big enough mess.....

Great, isn't it?
That's what happens when you have an elephant in the room.

The original post didn’t make any sense at all and am still none the wiser now.
I have no elephants ( in the room or out of it) to share thanks.

LOL ohh I remember that clip lol
