The Chosen One

Elli has been waiting patiently for years to be chosen by Crush in Turtle Talk at Disneyland to ask her question.  The golden question has changed over time from "What is your favorite book?" to "Who are you going to vote for for President?" to finally "Can you name all your kids in alphabetical order?" (He has 65.)  Jason has offered to pay her to ask where baby turtles come from, but Elli does not share his 14 year old boy sense of humor.  So today she was picked.  She sat in the spot her friend Isabel had told her holds the best chance of being picked, and wildly waved her arm, and finally she was the third/last one chosen.  The rest of the day she kept saying how she couldn't believe she got picked, and likened it to the day she got her ears pierced and the day she started wearing contacts.  Crush couldn't name his offspring in ABC order, but he did name them.  Here is the best my memory can recover of his answer:
Squirt
Crush Jr.
Crush Jr.
Crush Jr.
Crush Jr.
Crush Jr.
Bill & Ted
Cheech & Chong
Spicoli
Leonardo
Raphael
Donatello
Michelangelo
Keanu

"You so totally rock, Dude!"
