Where did we park?

We park under the giraffe.

When I was MUCH younger we used to take an annual shopping trip to Ridgedale Mall in Wayzata, Minnesota. Back then they had signs that hung up in the parking lot: bear, giraffe, elephant, etc. Inside the mall signs would point towards the exits showing the animals.

Anytime that we went shopping at a different mall with no signs, mom parked under the lot lights and pronounced, "remember, we parked under the giraffe."

Tonight as we were walking out of the mall I said my coworker, "did you notice that we parked under the giraffe? "  I flashed the taillights of the car and pointed to the light then I explained the giraffe.
