Lol! Sometimes I can be pretty ditzy - I thought maybe the woman in the picture was a dumbo, and the other thing was the octopus! Silly me. :D
I see now, the animal is called a dumbo octopus! Cute little fellow. I just learned something new - thanks.
Now I'm confused. Is the woman in the picture you, or the author of the book? Or are you the author of the book? In any case, nobody's a dumbo except the octopus... and possibly me. Lol!
Anne, the woman in the photo is me! Sorry I confused you...
And I'm not the author of the book...
Oh, I see. That clears things up a lot! Lol.
I hope you're having a great weekend.
