Surprise in the grass



So we're sitting at the table eating lunch when Max had something to say.

"Did you know that they're this small," says Max with a hand gesture showing something incredibly tiny.



"They're so small you can't even see them."

I'm intrigued.

"What is?" I ask.


"They're just so so small and tiny daddy...and they're in the grass," whispers Max.

"Well what is it?" I ask.

Max looks around like he shouldn't be saying this.

"Christmas monkeys," says Max.


"Um...right?" I say slightly puzzled.

"What are they doing there?"

"They're watching and whispering," says Max in a hushed voice.


" Well what are they saying?"

"I can't tell you," says Max

"But they're in the grass and waiting."


"For what?" I say.

"It's a secret and surprise...shhhh," says Max putting his finger to his lips.

"Moonkays!"cries Daisy as she drops her fork.


I think I'll stay inside today...
