monkey business

scene from the breakfast table this morning:

jack: mommy, i see a monkey outside!

mommy: you do? what's the monkey
doing?


jack: he's cleaning our house.

mommy: really?

jack: yeah. with a vacuum cleaner.

mommy: oh, so a monkey is going to clean the outside of
our house with a vacuum cleaner? well, i guess it's dirty.


jack: yeah. it's really dirty.

mommy: well, we'll have to pay him with bananas.
but we're out of bananas. maybe you can give him a hug to pay him.


jack: yeah. a hug. and i'll give him my
ball.


mommy: great idea!

so ... note to all readers ... special limited-time offer ... if you want a ball and a jack hug, dress in a monkey suit and come vacuum the outside of our house. and byob -- 'cause yes, we have no bananas.
