My parents came over for Thanksgiving and brought me an early birthday present along with our Christmas presents. As I unwrapped my birthday gift which was rectangular and about the size of a box that would house a bottle of wine perfectly my dad said, “This is something that will help cure what ales you.” Because of the size and shape of the box I said, “Awesome!” I thought I was in fact getting some wine. I’m not any sort of wine aficionado by any stretch of even the wildest imagination. Before going wine tasting with a couple friends I regarded wine equal to rotten grapes, which is something to throw out. They introduced me to late harvest wine and his much more attractive cousin Ice wine. Fully opened the present clearly wasn’t wine. I was given a bottle of Anti Monkey Butt powder, which is an athlete’s foot/jock itch/anything that itches due to sweat powder. I guess iron butt motorcyclists call their particular aliment monkey butt. That’s also what we lovingly call Sophia. I wonder, if I sprinkle a bit on her will she disappear for a couple hours?
Sophia enjoyed her unwrapped gift immensely! It’s probably the most gaudy and hideously Pepto-Bismol pink piece of furniture I’ve ever seen in my life, but the child loves her Dora the Explorer fold out couch. She spent all day today climbing on, off and all over the thing.
Oh gosh darnit to heck, I want to be angry about the PINK! Dora the Explorer kid-sized sofa, but look at her! Just look at her! She looks so happy! *sigh* Curses. Oh, but maybe you can make a nice slip-cover. *smile* (I’m so glad your mom doesn’t read this!)
Sorry about the “wine”.

It hurts your sensibilities when they really like that crap. Henry and I felt that way the first time she reached for an Elmo doll. *Shudder* We finally got our revenge however when a friends Hokey Pokey Elmo started dancing and Chloe shrieked in terror and ran behind daddy for protection. Thank god she still likes Cookie Monster *wink*. (Cookies are an always food, not a sometimes food. Don’t buy into the PC propaganda
)
We were just in BRUs the other day and checked out those little sofas. It was fun watching Chloe trying to figure out how to sit in them.
Oh, and as for Anti-Monkey But powder, it won’t make her go away. We’ve tried crosses and holy water, but our vampire keeps coming back for more
Wow, that is really pink! She sure looks happy though, so just keeping going with it.

smarmoofus – oh such foul language on my clean site.
Kurt and I are thinking about covering the Dora to match the Laura if we keep the kiddo couch in the livingroom.
Susan Anderson – OHmygosh! I was so angry when I heard they were making Cookies a “sometimes food”. That is so freakin’ retarded! I may have to make Sesame Street one of my rants.
Maybe a trail of cookies will get rid of the vampire monkeys for a couple hours.
Sarah – Yes, it’s really quite pink. We may cover it, especially if it’s going to live in our living room. But she really does love it. Maybe she’s colorblind?
Your dad got you good
The Anti Monkey Butt mascot looks a ton of fun, though.
