Alura & Monkey
Toes are my niece and nephew. Alura is a grown person. Monkey Toes is school
age. They are the children I will not be having and I Love them to pieces. On
the internet I only refer to them by these names. Just like folks don’t need to know
my name, they don’t need to know their names. Facebook included, I may have
went to school with a now pedophile so, safety first. Oh and they both know
there is only one someone that calls them these names. So don’t try it.
Like a few my cousins, cousin’s wife and myself, my grandfather’s sister (RIP) mispronounced our names badly. Well, my niece was no exception. She hates the name. I only used to call her that when she was irritatingly disobedient and I needed to get her attention. She would stop in her tracks because she knew I meant business. Now when Ms. Grown is getting on my nerves, I call her that in retaliation. It calms her down enough to understand that she’s bothering me. I get the same response every time, “Who is Alura”.
The Monkey Toes story is very dumb but hilarious. Monkey Toes was a toddler and trying to show my mom his house shoes. They were little brown booties type shoes. He was clearly saying "My Toes" and she heard "Monkey Toes" and got mad. She said, "Monkey Toes, Who called you Monkey Toes? You don't have Monkey Toes.". I looked at her and said "You are. Because he is saying, My Toes. He's showing you his shoes". He had already showed me his shoes so I knew what the kid was saying. I laughed at my mother for an hour and that is how I started calling my nephew "Monkey Toes". He is now at the age where he is starting to ask about his nick name. LoL I can't wait to tell him the story.
Yeah, my niece & nephew have a silly aunt. But she loves them and that is what matters. Love you, Alura & Monkey Toes!!!
Always, Talking to
You in Adult Terms
