Parenting today is just too easy

When T was in the cute-I-love-my-Mommy-my-Mommy-rocks phase of his life, I would sit down with him and teach him how to tie his shoe laces.  One bunny ear, another bunny ear... you know how it goes.  Then the whole zipper, button, press stud etc training. 

Yesterday I was at Borders bookstore and came across this.


Parenting today is just WAY too easy.  Think about it, give the child the monkey and have them figure it out thus giving the parent more time for wine. 

I think I need to write a book.

    The book should be about how a parent can actually talk to a child and spend a few minutes in the same room as them. No, seriously, it's possible!

    @ Dr.C ~ that is the way I did it, but now they have the monkey or was I the monkey for not using the monkey. Are you still with me on this one?

    Many thanks for the follo and the comments. I am totally with you - I mean what is the point of Kim Kardashian or any of the clan really?

    Ok. What is up with the banana? Seriously. Is it me? That is twelve kinds of wrong.

    @Tulpen ~ I noticed it when I took the picture, was going to comment on it, but wanted to see if anyone thought the same as I did... you win ~ a case of wine will be shipped to you shortly!

    How did that monkey leave the factory with his banana sticking out of his pants? Seriously, did assembly line inspector #21 fall asleep or did some hipster designer think this outfit was cute? Sheesh.

    And does it not appear that said offending banana has a "slip" that can be removed? Possibly?

    I guess this monkey also teaches masturbation techniques. Whoooh! Dodged *THAT* awkward parent-teen conversation....
