Monkeys

Way back before Becky and I started dating, she spent a summer as a counselor for middle school girls at Spring Hill camp in Michigan. Upon returning to college in the fall she was very excited to share her enthusiasm for her time at camp with all of us. One of the highlights apparently had been singing the Monkey Song with the campers. This song is very silly like most camp songs, but I became a bit frightened when she got to the chorus...."I want to be a monkey, a MONKEY MONKEY MONKEY!" (caps means you sing in the deepest scariest voice you possibly can). Despite how scarring this interaction was for me, we started dating, got married, and have a son who likes silly songs. So naturally we have been singing him the Monkey Song, with the scary voice and everything. It apparently has made quite the impression. This video was taken a few weeks ago during our usual bedtime routine...
