Here is my story:
Great-Grandmother Ellie, from Zeke's mother's side of the family... the Phants, had not been to a concert since 1923. But since heartfully felt the need to support the handsome young man, she really needed to dress appropriately. Besides there might be a handsome *old* man in the front near the orchestra where she hoped to find a seat.
She wondered what rocks had to do with concerts. Maybe she should wear her white diamonds? No... she decided on "her" grandmothers pearls. They were always set off so well by the black and white fleur de lis gown she had purchased in Paris on one of her many trips there.
She was sure that Mr. and Mrs. Zebralski (her granddaughter) would be glad that she made a special effort to travel to the concert. "My goodness," she thought to herself, "I don't even know what instrument young Zeke will be playing. Maybe he is even the orchestra conductor. I do hope the play my favorite Mozart piece. And I still don't know what *rocks* have to do with anything."

Love your story, and WOW, WOW, WOW - love your elegant elephant. She is really a beauty. I hope they play some Mozart too. Maybe a little Rondo alla Turca?

I love how your elegant elephant came all the way to the teaparty. Her grandmother's pearls were the perfect accessory to wear to the concert. However, if she had worn the diamonds then there would have been some awesome ROCKS at that concert! Love your story.

Garnet, welcome to the tea party. I am also fairly new.
I hope Grandma Ellie has recovered and that she was not too shocked by the rock concert crowd. The bit (well, large bit) of elegance she brought was much needed. She is adorable.
