Why does having a monkey on your back have to be a bad thing?

Monday, June 30, 2008


Squeaky is here modeling a fancy version of the dreaded child leash. In this modern era, it now comes in several styles, this one being the monkey. I wonder if the makers of this model thought this one through or if it was really a coincidence? Are they trying to stick it to the parents subliminally by using a monkey, instead of like an eagle? Or would that just be irony? Are they getting a great big kick out of the whole situation because all the parents that use the monkey version look like big, oppressive jerks? But I say, how can oppression possibly be wrong when it's covered up by a sweet, fuzzy brown minky? You be the judge. For now, I will continue to oppress while wearing a big smile on my face. (I just realized that she has a forlorn look in this picture, bad monkey, bad Mommy!)

Silly little monkey, she's so cute!

P.S. Did Daddy dress her? It looks like her pants are on backwards. lol

I had the dreaded (pre minkey)original model for you when you were Carlys age. People were still disgruntled about the whole matter then. But none of them had such a precocious child that would get out of everything (except the pre minky) and have two police officers bring their escapee baby back twice. I finally had to bolt the top of the door to keep you in.
