When I was a little girl my parents bought me a stuffed monkey at Cracker Barrel during one of their trips to Ridgecrest. I cherished that little thing. It had holes in its nose, mouth and ears and you cold stick its fingers and toes in the holes. It was great.
When Sambo was born, I let Jules borrow it for him to enjoy with the condition I have it returned to me for my kid(s). I was 19 and ignorant and should have thought through the donation a bit more.
I asked Jules a couple of years ago if my monkey was in good keeping. She blew me off and said she wasn't sure where it was but it was around. Well, today I asked her about it and she informed me she lost it a number of years ago. I think she or Stephen threw it away...Stephen has a knack for tossing things (the Raggedy Ann trash Can....Humm-hmmm).
I called my Mama at work and informed her of this tragedy. She has known about it for a few years and searches for a replacement all the time. I am appalled and most sad. Julie best get on the Internet and find me a matching monkey! Mama better not be the only one looking since it isn't her fault it is gone! There are conditions though - it can't be a baby gift for me (and no, there is no bun in my oven), a birthday gift or a Christmas gift. It is payment for losing my most prized toy as a child!
How sad...that poor monkey is rotting in the Woodruff County landfill. What a sad and disappointing death.
I hope Sambo appreciated his time with my monkey as much as I did (I am doubting that though).
