 |  Quotes from a small (and not so small) Monkey |
|
From a very young age, Monkey has amused us with the things that he comes up with. This blog was begun when he was quite small, and I have been adding to it (less so lately) for over seven years. He has always had a precocious way with words, and a genuinely brilliant sense of comic timing. One of his first nicknames was Monkey, and the name stuck because it is so true. He's impish, funny, silly, and occasionally swings from a tree or monkey bars. The first byline of this blog was "my son will someday be a writer." As predicted, he has become quite a talented young writer. I hope you enjoy his antics as much as I have! |
| Mom, is it really cold? Me: Yes, VERY cold. That means we can invite penguins to our house! Oh . . . of course!  Would you like to call ⭐Princette♥PengthuluWrites  or should I?And a few hours later, he comes up to me, quite randomly, grabs my cell phone and says Mom! Call a penguin!   |
| Jakie telling a joke: Knock knock? Sophie: Who's there? Moose. Sophie: Moose who? Moose? I wasn't expecting you to bring a moose. I was expecting you to bring a cute little animal that I love! Sarah: Jake that was just weird. I know but it was a little bit cute for me. A little bit!?!  If you were any cuter my brain would implode! |
| As we were leaving my cousin's to drive home, this afternoon: There are lots of ways to get home. That's because the world is round. Well . . . sure, but some might take slightly longer than others! |
Jakie and I were having a little snuggle on the chair, and I was scratching his back. He said "you have sharp toenails."  Uh, dude? I'm not using my feet!  |
| Sophie's working on some geography homework, and she has to label the continents and oceans. She couldn't think of the last one, and Jakie, from the other room, pipes in Umm . . . Atlantic! And his tone was like "hello?? How could you not KNOW that!?"   Little Dude! |
| I was mixing up some of Jakie's pancake mix, and he asked me why I don't measure the oil in the measuring cup. I replied "I just don't." So, he decided . . . You're just not that kind of Mommy? I guess not.  What kind of Mommy does that make me, then? |
| Jakie's watching the Olympic Men's Road Race (150 miles?) and just said I can keep up with THIS bicycle race! A few minutes later he said I can go faster than THAT! Go little dude! |
| Jakie's been going to a Gymboree Spanish class this summer. He's learned some colors, body parts, and numbers. He just asked me "what's 'leg' in Spanish, again?" So I answered, "pierna." "My pierna is starting to hurt." Now he's singing the "where is Thumbkin" song in Spanish ("Pugarcita" or something like that). |
as copied down by his sister, Dhoc-li Llama  Once upon a time there was a cute grownup who was a snugglebug named Mommy. One night it was bedtime and she put me to bed. The end. |

| The kids are all sitting on the sofa . . . Sarah's using the laptop, Sophie and Jakie are each on one side, watching. Within the space of a few minutes, she said Don't ooh ooh ooh in my ear!
