Ninja Monkey Strikes Again

"Mommy, da monkey come back."
"The monkey who pulled your covers off the other day? Is that the monkey you're talking about, Cael?"
"Yes, dat monkey. Him pull my arm and then he took my bed."
"He pulled your arm?"

"Yes, he pulled my arm. And then, and then mommy, he went to the living room. Him has sharp teeth."

"So he's not a nice monkey?"

"No him not nice."

At which point Taryn chimed into the conversation.

"Were his parents there Cael Bear?"

"Yes, he live with his mommy and daddy."

"Were his mommy and daddy here?"

"No mommy, they live in the jungle."

"Cael, don't you think he was sad because he missed his mommy and daddy?"

"Yes dister, him was sad because he missed his mommy and daddy."

"So there's a mean monkey who pulled your arm and took your bed, but it's ok because he is sad because he misses his mommy and daddy."

"No mommy. Him is nice. Him is my friend."

"Mommy isn't it nice that Cael Bear has a monkey friend? He's not a mean monkey, mommy."

Thankfully I have Taryn to help direct me in conversations with Cael. Otherwise I might have gotten lost in this conversation.
