I thought it’d be fun to participate and was sent a gift by Karen. Karen had the brilliant idea to send me a screaming monkey. What is a screaming monkey? Glad you asked! It is kinda like a slingshot but when you shoot it the darn thing screams! A high pitched scream that is darn near eardrum shattering!
The funny thing is my monkey didn’t scream when I used it as a slingshot - and Karen warned me that it was loud! But I flung it hither and tither and no sound. If you don’t know, I am the mother of a 3.5 year old. He saw the monkey and immediately had a new plaything. Although he didn’t get the idea that it was a slingshot, he took the monkey and threw it on the ground. It immediately made wild monkey sounds! Monkey screeching!
My mother and I looked at him in awe because we’d tried to get the thing to work several times to no avail. And once my son had it down, of course he laughed hysterically and wanted to throw the monkey all around. To our chagrin!
I know this was a gifting exchange and I had plans to film a video of my son playing with the monkey. But wonder of wonder, miracle of miracles the monkey has disappeared! We haven’t seen it since the first couple of days my son played with it. I would love to say that I’m disappointed but seriously? The monkey screeching was nerve wracking and I’m very happy that I no longer have to hear that sound.
I’m sure that my son will locate the monkey at the most inopportune time but for now I’m reveling in the peace and quiet that I have now that the monkey is nowhere to be found. And I promise, I did not hid it, I truly do not know where my son put the thing!
