My Mother's Story To My Son

My Mother, God bless her heart, loves her grandson enough to read a book to him before he goes to bed.  Eamon always has "5 Little Monkeys" read to him before he goes to bed.

My Mother's version of the first verse:

"5 Little Monkey jumping on bed,

fell down and bump the head,

Mama call Doctor,

No more monkey on the bed!"

I won't recite the rest of the verses, but you can just imagine how the story might have disintegrated.

I'm almost positive Eamon is going to grow up as confused as I was without knowing it thanks to my parents.  But this is not a bad thing...I'm hoping it makes him as amused as I get
