This morning Sir Monkeypants was despairing that his brain isn’t big enough to retain all the memories of all the great moments of his life. So for his benefit, I relate here the incident that led to his lamenting.

I was putting on some Chapstick, and the Captain asked for it, because there’s nothing he likes better than little tubes of stuff, lip balm in particular. Sir Monkeypants asked the Captain for some, and the Captain “applied” the Chapstick (with the lid still on, and quite possibly using the wrong end) to Sir Monkeypants’ lips, which was just adorable.

And then, as he is wont to do with things he really, really loves, Captain Jelly Belly put the Chapstick down on the floor and ran around it in circles while giggling. Usually he chants the name of the item he is running around but he’s not too good at saying “lip balm.”

And so Sir Monkeypants sat the Captain down on the floor, and ran around him in circles chanting the Captain’s name.

Awwww.
