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! |
