Name the Monkey!




I got a monkey. Actually, Roy gave me his monkey. If you hit it just right, it lets out a terrifying scream that is guaranteed to scare away all manner of monster, including, but not limited to Sasquatch, Nessie and Zipperump-a-Zoos.

Right now, we're leaving the Munchkin in school so that I can job hunt without interruption. I'll be honest...I'm a little terrified about what would happen if I was solely responsible for her daily education. It would likely consist of PBS Kids, Draw a Tree class, play with dolls, watch TMZ. And if I was the in charge of her daily nutrition...well, let's just say that on the weekends, we have grilled cheese for lunch both days. Because I'm that creative in the kitchen.

Anyway, it gets a little lonely around here during the day. I'm used to all the privacy of a fishbowl back at the cube farm, so this takes a little getting used to. I decided that I needed a sidekick to converse with---enter Monkey. He needs a name, but I'm having trouble committing to one. Maybe you can help.
