It’s been going on two days now. So, I think it’s official: the monkey has an imaginary friend! Here’s what I know about him (I’ve been asking TONS of questions):

*He’s male.

*He’s a “monster.”

*More, specifically, he’s a “dinosaur shadow.”

*He lives in a purple and green castle.

*He goes on a “trip” at night and comes back when it’s “up time” — which is a good thing because Monkey does NOT want to sleep with him.

*He’s “a sweet guy.”

*He likes Monkey’s closet.

*He likes Monkey’s mama and dadda (phew!).

*He has a brother and a sister.

*He’s green and gold (but sometimes he’s purple and red), and he looks something like THIS:


That little squiggle there is the letter S, by the way! You can imagine how excited I was when she told me that….

…which, now that you mention it, looks curiously a lot like this:

It’s GORDO. The GREEN AND GOLD DINOSAUR we saw at the MUSEUM on Sunday! AHA! Eureka!

He looks a little different to the front, though:

In any case…. Where the heck did she get his name?

Are you ready for it?

I don’t think you can handle it….

She says his name is….

KYLO.

KYLO!

KYLO! WTF!?

She’s constantly talking about KYLO.

Kylo’s brother’s name (are you ready?) is Avillia. This changes all the time. But, KYLO is always KYLO.

So, we have a KYLO among us.

Isn’t it AWESOME!? I LOVE it.

Meanwhile…. When Monkey finished drawing Kylo for me, Rascal (waited till I was safely busy in the kitchen and) decided to draw a monster of his own…ON THE FA-REAKING TABLE….

Hrumph! Cheaty little rascal…. The KING of all MESSES.

And, yes, I’m aware that I’m the ONLY blogger NOT talking about politics. It helps that I’m Canadian. But, Josh-O and I HAVE been watching the election coverage all evening. It’s obvious who the new president will be, and I am BEYOND excited. So, I think I can go to bed now! But, I’m also very interested in seeing what happens with Proposition 2 on the California ballot…. Looks like Californians are saying a resounding YES. We do need MORE than Proposition 2. But, it’s a start. The AWARENESS this Proposition has evoked is huge.

Admittedly, we did take one break from the election coverage to watch The Tudors (much to Josh’s chagrin) — WHICH was AMAZING.

Jeremy Northam! Jeremy Northam Jeremy Northam Jeremy Northam. LOVE LOVE LOVE! We’ve been having a love affair since Emma…. He did a REMARKABLE job of playing the role of Thomas More in The Tudors. No doubt, he deserves major awards and accolades. He’s now officially one of my favourite actors. Wow…. What an incredible tribute to Sir Thomas More….

I will miss you, Jeremy…. Hopefully, you’ll come back in next week’s episode as a ghost…(just like they do in The Young and the Restless…).
