Her son--the latterday author of the Babar books--lived a few blocks away from me a few years back.

OK, so one of my ex boyfriends told me this story about his sister. She was sleeping one night and he walked past her room, only to hear her moan, "Ohhhh, Babar." I'm not sure which was more disturbing, him listening in on her or her having sex dreams about French elephants
