In case anyone wants to know, it's a relative of the centipede (the scary one they keep locked in the basement).
aaaah, damned, i don't have to google, i *do* know what that thing is. :shudder: my reaction would be to climb on top of a chair or possibly a table or even taller furniture (if it were on the floor) or else to shout "run away ! run away !" and combine the words with the actions.

The trick is to constantly move the trunk, up,down, sideways...

The reactions on the kid's faces are worth it. Even on their parent's.
hee ! i love that Thing too. i love the Addams family (the old 60's tv series). and i'm sure i wouldn't be afraid of your hand-elephant. it sounds very cute and funny.
