#3 number 2
Blessings #s 1, 2, and 4 are outside playing. B#5 is napping upstairs. B#3 is contentedly playing wooden trains in the living room. I am in the family room, folding a family-size serving of laundry. It is quiet. I am enjoying the peacefulness… and, honestly, I have actually been enjoying folding the laundry!
In the quietness, I hear footsteps in the entryway, slowly coming around the corner. B#3 is standing there, hands behind his back, looking like he’s got something on his mind.
Monkey Moma: What’s up, bud?
B#3: Moma…. Do you know why my hands are in my pants?
MM: Does your bottom hurt?
B#3: No…….
MM: Do you need to go potty?
B#3: No-oooo…
MM: Well, what’s wrong?
B#3: Well….. uh…. When I was playing trains, I, uh… well, I thought I needed to toot. But when I tooted, it wasn’t really a toot. It was a toot-poopie. I’ve got toot-poops in my unders.
MM: Oh… I see…
B#3: Did you know that, Moma? That’s why they’re called toot-poops. ‘Cause you think you gotta toot, but really what comes out is poop.
Back to the laundry…
Now I hear a squabble in the backyard. I hear the baby waking up.
I sure hope I get to the bottom of this pile before dinnertime.

gotta love those "toot-poops"!
You could make a new dictionary with #3's new words!! How do they always know when you're enjoying a peaceful moment. . .even if it is while folding laundry?!
"Toot-poops." Laughing out loud!
And I thought I'd heard it all! Toot-poops, I can't stand it - that is too funny:)
I'm off to my own laundry pile. I'm pretty sure there's a missing child hidden under there...
That is too funny!
When my little one was four he did something similar. He ran to the potty, so I ask "Whats wrong?" He answers, "Uh...nothing...uh...I just farted...well...I thought it was a fart...and...Hey, who put chocolate in my underwear?!"
Ah yes. He must know Evan.
That little monkey of yours sure is a riot! LOL!
I love your monkey stories. They are all great!
