Monkey Speak

In the continuing adventures of Little Monkey, I learn she knows how to exit from a conversation she doesn't want to be in now both quickly and with really big words:

Queen: ...so they are putting in hearing aids that are kind of like microphones for the ears, it will amplify sounds for him, does that make sense?

Little Monkey: Yes

Judgemental Monkey: Do you know how hearing works in your ear?

Little Monkey: Nope, but it sounds terribly scientific to me, blah, blah, blah.

(Car full of belly laughs.)


Speaking of Monkey Speak, say hi to Middle Monkey who is jumping in with both feet here in blogtopia. You will see her commenting here from time to time as Red Leader to illustrate how ridculously nerdy we are.

And the Oscar goes to...


WOOOOOOO HOOOOO!


Now I gotta start planning a party. As a shout out to my fellow nerds in the audience, go here for your printable list.

Peace out.

HOPE OVER FEAR




Today is a great day for the world.

Just one of my new favorite quotes:


Now, there are some who question the scale of our ambitions — who suggest that our system cannot tolerate too many big plans. Their memories are short. For they have forgotten what this country has already done; what free men and women can achieve when imagination is joined to common purpose, and necessity to courage.


I hope you watched or listened. If not, go read it now. Powerful stuff.
