It has a tail
Mom: Go ahead, ask her.
Little Girl: Do you have a stuffed animal?
Me: Did you lose one?
Little Girl: Yes.
Me: What does it look like?
Little Girl: It has a tail.
Me: Do you know what kind of animal it was?
Little Girl: I think it was a lemur.
Me: (looks under the desk, finds a lemur) Is this it?
Little Girl: YES!
Mom: Oh, thank God. She was devastated.
Little Girl: :D
Me: :D
