We celebrated Amy's birthday at the beach, and no birthday here is complete without the Birthday Monkey. He comes out for all special occasions. For this birthday, he rode in the car, sat at the table, was buried in sand, and even tried to ride the Banana Boat, but he wouldn't stay on. While I was giving him a shower after swimming, a lady asked me how old he was. I looked confused so she said "How long?" I'm pretty sure she thinks that I carry the monkey everywhere with me, all the time. I said, "It's a joke for my friend's birthday." But of course there were no friends to be seen, since they were showering, so maybe she thought I meant it was the monkey's birthday. Either way, she walked off hiding her laugh, and told the guys at the stand next door, "It's a birthday! I don't know why..." Nice.
