Remember these guys?
Well, they were a hit last christmas. They've been floating around the kids playroom ever since, most recently were part of an impromptu puppet show that all 6 of us in the Lewis/Johnson house took part in...Yesterday, that little yellow guy ended up in the livingroom, where Jeff's kids were playing volleyball with him. No, internet, I do not know why. That is just what boys do.
Later in the evening, as I was cooking dinner, I heard a ruckus in the livingroom and I peeked around the wall to see what was going on...
Jeff was pretending to pull the yellow monster out of the little kids' ears and they were in absolute hysterics about it. Often times, what will happen is that Jeff will spend about 10 minutes doing something ABSOLUTELY RIDICULOUS to rile the kids all up and then he'll wander off and leave them pinging off the walls like little pin-balls. This was no exception.
Alyza was so amused by the "monster in your ear trick" that she decided to try it for herself. So she grabbed the little yellow monster and ran after Jeff. Being that Jeff is approximately 47,000 feet taller than anyone in this house, she targeted the only thing within her reach, and SQUEALED...
"THERE'S A MONSTER IN YOUR PANTS!!!!!"
She then turned to me and said "MOMMY THERE'S A MONSTER IN JEFF'S PANTS!! LOOK!!!"
I looked over at Jeff, who was looking at me, and I am pretty sure both of us were thinking:
"That's what she said."
This gave me a case of the giggles.
