RETURN OF THE MONKEY BUTT POWDER
Jon forgot to wash the chlorine out of his hair last evening - drastic measures were employed to combat
"Monkey Butt Head". He was pretty miserable but the powder seemed to help. However......Jack had received no relief from his red, sore and miserable ears ("
Monkey Butt Ears")! Read on.....Jack complained all day yesterday that he couldn't hear anything and his ears were hurting so badly in the helmet. Grandpa told him to quit being such a wimp and quick complaining. Grandpa even tried to carve away at the Styrofoam in the helmet to give him some relief but to no avail. Finally.... after serious complaining and whining, grandpa investigated further and discovered that after he had washed the cheek pads he put them in the helmet Up-Side-Down, Backwards and On The Wrong Side!! Woops! Big mistake! Jack is totally happy now....no sore ears, great intercom reception and no need for any Monkey Butt Powder.
JUST IN CASE......
Today we began our day with anti-constipation cups (fruit cups) for breakfast. Then we decided to purchase the Un-Stopper Kit for "Just in Case" the fruit cups proved to be insufficient.
