The Pineapple Monkey...I Swear She's Not on Crack
You know all of those grocery store flyers that you get each week in your mail? Mikayla was looking at this week's Safeway circular, upside down, when she pointed to a picture of a pineapple (that you can now get for $2.99).
"Muh-key."
"Huh?"
"Muh-key."
"No, baby. Sorry. That's not a monkey."
She stabbed the picture with her pointer finger and scrunched her face all up.
"MUH-KEY!!!!"
I then turned the advertisement the right way.
"Pineapple."
She spent a minute searching for the monkey with a very confused look on her face. She turned to me, with tears in her eyes and turned her hands up and shrugged her shoulders as if to say, "I don't know where he went."
Then, the Demon in Toddler Clothing jabbed me in the chest with that damn finger (I think I have a bruise now) and said, "Momma. Muh-key. Owwwwwiiiiiieeeeeee!" with a horrified look on her face as if I killed the thing.
So, I turned the ad back upside down and suddenly the pineapple turned into a money and the world was the way it should be.
