Exposing my kid to criminals and terrifying monkeys

“Well, it’s official! I’m going to do some jail time!”
– Shouted over the roar of construction equipment, from one construction worker to another, as Evie and I were standing outside our car at the museum.

Coach Jorge: “Can you show me your dinosaur face, Evie?”
Evie: “I’m scared.”
Coach Jorge: “Well, how about a silly monkey then instead?”
::Evie shaking her head and backing away::
Me: “Monkeys aren’t scary.”
Evie: “One monkey is.”

Well folks, you decide for yourself:

"You got that paper mache monkey ready for the kids' playground? Perfect! Exactly how I envisioned it!"
