Male Mentality

Here's a transcript of a conversation I recently had with my son about the bedtime story he had selected. Looking at the cover of the book, I said, "I hope this story has monkeys in it." (It was a Clifford the Big Red Dog story which I already knew to be monkey-deficient.)

Him: "No, there are no monkeys in this story."

Me: "Too bad. Monkeys make any story better, don't they?"

Him: "No. Explosions."


The logical conclusion is that a book about exploding monkeys would be the most awesome bedtime story ever.


Enough rambling. Here's a picture of a topiary Mickey.

    The movie Jumanji has a monkey who fires a shotgun. That is as close as I can think of to exploding monkeys.

    Could be better if the monkeys caused explosions rather than exploded themselves. After all, what would make a group of happy monkeys so mad they built and used explosives?

Feel free to leave a comment. I'll feel free to delete it if I see fit. I'd need a really good reason, though. Disagreeing with me is fine, but being rude (to me or anyone else) isn't. This is my house - do what you like in yours.
