Meme 1: Life in the Amazon

Bladio asked me to write 3 fantasy stories about myself.

(Our backyard)

My name is Dangles, I live in the Amazon with my wife Esmeralda and our 37 beautiful monkey babies. We recently finished renovations on our 6 story tree house. We had to add a new wing since we have so many kids. I am originally from Bartell Drugs in Bellevue, Washington. Esmeralda is from the Amazon so she is happy to be home.

Esmeralda and I own the largest banana plantation in the world. All of our friends live with us. Abe used to be our chef but he would only make snow cones and we got sick of that. Now Abe is the plantation manager. We are not really sure what he does all day but we like having him and his wife Uno and their baby Onueba around. The ugly army harvests the bananas and our friend Larry is the shipping manager. Domo Kun works security. After we “promoted” Abe to plantation manager we hired a Capuchin as our head chef. Capuchins are the best chefs in the monkey world and we have similar tastes. We feast on delicious banana dishes every day.

We spend most of our time teaching our little ones the ropes. Throwing poo, picking bugs off each other and scratching armpits.

Tidbits of wisdom from Martha Talks Back

When Ash and DK are at work the Ugly Army and I like to educate ourselves by reading interesting articles. One of our favorite columns is Martha Talks Back. Most of the time I make Abe read out loud because he is still learning to spell and read and I want to help him with that. (Ok, the real reason I make him do it is because it’s funny.)

Here is an excerpt of what we read about today:
“People with severe nose-picking problems are called rhinotillexomaniacs. In extreme cases, the cure for this is to sew their nostrils shut.”
