So we were playing around today, dancing and imitating animals and stuff and we were doing the Monkey- you know where you put your hands in your armpits and screech and make monkey noises- and Miss 6 (Miss 5 had a birthday) says to me "Maybe that's why monkeys are always giggling! Because they are always tickling themselves!"
Now that's a revelation.

check it out! a revelation that doesn't hurt anyone... miraculous!
ReplyDeleteI'm sure in the wrong, fundamentalist ontrol-freaks hands even something as innoent as this could be dangerous. I think it's the person having the revelation more than the thought itself.
ReplyDeleteI'm quite chuffed about the sensible logic this statement shows. She has put together what she knows about the world (that underarms tickle and monkeys seem to always be touching their underarms and always giggling)and come up with a perfetly reasonable conclusion! And she's only 6!
