Today has been a very amusing one. This morning we went to the "extreme thrift" store run by the school district. There, Si found a free "monkey." (It didn't have a tail, so it was really an ape, but HEY...he's four.) This monkey has all the colors of the rainbow, thus it was dubbed "rainbow monkey."
"Mom! Rainbow monkey has a BUTT!"
"So it does."
"Butt!!! Tee-hee. I like butts!" (Yep, he's four.)
"That's nice dear. It's okay for rainbow monkey to have a butt." (Um, hold that thought...something's wrong here.)
Repeat monkey butt comment at park...and then finally home to watch How to Train Your Dragon, twice.
There's a lot you can learn from a kid's movie.
This particular kids movie is about not making assumptions. (Yeah, there's that butt reference again. Seems to be the theme of the day.)
It's also about giving others a chance, and getting to know those who are different than yourself. There's even a message about trying new things, although I don't envy the dragon training kid. I don't think I'll ever like raw fish.
I just caught Si jumping on the couch.
"Don't jump on the couch Si."
"But Mo-om! I'm trying to fly!"
Never a dull moment.
