We were all sitting in the family room, when my daughter said “mom Maggie just went outside with something in her mouth”, so I got up, and went outside to see what she had, and sure enough Maggie had the little monkey in her mouth. Now Maggie is not at all like Abby. I told her to put it down and she did, however Abby grabbed it, and off she went, on a run with this little torn up monkey in her mouth.
Well, I kept telling her to drop it, and of course she did not want to right away, she wanted to play keep away. I finally got it from her, but she had pulled the legs off the monkey. So I showed it to my granddaughter, and she looked at me, and said, with a sad little face “ you better go, and show that to my mom and dad”. Well, you can imagine, I felt so bad. On my way back to the house, my son came out, and asked me if Abby had gotten the monkey. I said yes, and showed it to him, I told him I would replace it, all he could do was laugh, and told me not to worry about it, as she has a ton of monkeys, and would not miss this one at all. Come to find out, she has not missed it, but I still feel bad. I am still going to see if I can find one just like this one, and replace it for her. Abby try’s to be good, she just can’t help herself.
