Chickmonks

Yes, you read that title correctly.  This post is about Chickmonks.

A few weeks ago when we picked the boys up from school, Jackson was extra talkative about the day's activities.  He was so excited to tell us that they went to the zoo!  (We believe the probably read a book that talked about a trip to the zoo).  Playing along, we asked him what animals he saw at the zoo.  Of course, there were the usual animals....giraffes, elephants, cows, and pigs.  Then he exclaimed that they also saw Chickmonks.

Of course, we knew exactly what he meant - chipmonks - but it was so cute to listen to him!

He told us all about Chickmonks - how they are very small, and they run around in trees.  He seemed quite facinated with them.  Trying to help him understand, I turned the conversation to Mickey Mouse - and told him that Chip and Dale are chipmonks. 

He could say Chip....but the animal was still chickmonks.  I'm still trying to get the picture of a baby chick wearing a monk outfit out of my head!
